To obtain more detailed information on a specific workshop, please send an email to the teacher responsible. At the end of the workshop, you must request a certificate from the lecturer, which you will then present to the Committee for Other Credits. Remember that in order to obtain CFU recognition your absences must not exceed 25% of the total number of hours of the workshop. The total number of hours indicated (25 hours=1 CFU) refers to the student's total commitment, which includes lectures, practical activities, and the preparation of projects or dissertations if necessary. If you wish to take part, you must send an email to the teacher responsible to request enrolment (in the event that requests exceed the availability of places, the order in which the emails are sent by the students will normally be used as the criterion for acceptance).
