Besides presenting the state of research, the seminar allows for discussions on conceptual and operational (design, analysis, interpretation) questions surrounding scientific work. Please note that you cannot register IN THE SAME SEMESTER for “Advances in Infection Biology, Epidemiology and Global Health” (51685-01) and “Current Topics in Epidemiology and Public Health (11910-01)” Master students in Infection Biology and Epidemiology cannot register for “Current Topics in Epidemiology and Public Health”. If you register for “Current Topics in Epidemiology” (where it is requested to write a small essay to get the 2 CP) please send an e-mail to Mrs Anja Schreier anja.schreier@swisstph.ch to get invited by Jürg Utzinger for a short meeting where essay procedures and deadlines are discussed. |
