There will only be space for 40 postgraduate students and young researchers, so you are advised to book early. The venue is a monastery on the Greek island of Lesbos. Classes will take place in the morning and early evening and you will have the opportunity to present your own research at a special session.The school will last for one week and the cost of 499 Euros includes accommodation, three meals per day, and tuition. If you pay by April 30, 2007, we will give you a 50 Euro discount. To secure your place, get in touch with us with a 100 Euro deposit.
