Summer School Registration

Printable version

Summer School lecture notes will be provided to students on a memory stick.It would be ideal to have a lptop computer to view these at the lectures. If you do bring your laptop we would just like to remind international delegates that you will need power adapters in order to plug into power outlets here in Australia. Power adapters will not be provided.

Lectures will take place in the ITAMS Building (No. 233) room G01.
