Closing date for applications: January 12th, 2009

There is no registration fee for the course.

a) Applying to come on the course
From past experience we expect that demand will outstrip the availability of places ­ which we limit to around 25 students. We seek to have a gender and nationality balance on the course. We also try to ensure a mix of experience and biological backgrounds from the students who attend.

b) EMBO covers the costs of student accommodation and communal meals for the duration of the course only.

** It does not cover the cost of your travel to Rio or any visa costs.

There may be some monies to help to cover the travel costs to Brazil of up to three students from outside of Western Europe and North America. These are granted at the discretion of Professor Embley as they come from his research funding.

c) Apply online including filling out the fields for:

- details why you wish to attend the course and what you hope to get out of it;

- A CV giving details of your experience and any presentations or publications.
