Nonetheless, students from other science fields such as bio-engineering, geology, marine biology, geophysics, and oceanography areas, for example, who desire a more in-depth understanding of the subjects of the summer school, are also highly welcome to apply. The number of participants is restricted to max 20 applicants to be selected on the basis of curriculum diversity, motivation and recommendation letter.
