Summer school in Bioinorganic chemistry, Crete, Greece 20-31 July
From chemistry to biology & medicine via metals

The University of Crete is one of Greece’s highest academic institutes in which excellence concerning education as well as research is one's of its main objectives.
Therefore, we enthusiastically promote international teaching collaborations with other leading international Institutes and Universities.

The renewal of the curriculum refering to chemistry, biology, and medicine is something more than simply a necessity.
The creation of multidisciplinary courses, and activities is the future in education degrees respecting the needs of the industrial partners.
The "common language" between various disciplines can only be established via similar activities as the proposed intensive course.
