Syllabus

The third edition of the Summer Course in Sport Sciences intends to cross the skills and knowledge and of those who who are preparing themselves for the doctoral exam (public defense) and to those who are just starting their projects, presenting their work to master students.
The course will be held in English and master and PhD supervisors will also present short communications, focusing on work preparation for submission in international journals (it is possible that some other communication will be added). It is intended to strengthen the critical spirit of FCDEF-UC researchers as well as handover of expertise between researchers participating in the same line of research.
