We are looking for highly motivated participants who are interested in movement (disorders), specifically the fields of orthopaedics, trauma surgery and sports medicine to participate in our summer school.

All lectures and workshops are taught in English. If you want to join, make sure you can freely express yourself in English to enable proper understanding and stimulate group interaction. No formal English language test is required.

For most (European) participants it is not necessary to obtain a visa. In some cases, depending on your nationality, you will need to apply for a so-called Schengen visa (short-stay visa).

Please note that you can only apply for a visa after you have been admitted. If needed, the summer school coordinator can provide an invitation letter.
