About modules
2025 edition of Elmo-Lion PhD course consists of 3 module: Online Lectures, Project Work and Summer School. Each module can be taken separately or together with other modules
We recommend taking all three modules because:
☆ Online Lectures contain important fundamental information needed for Project Work module.
☆ During Summer School, students should finalize their ideas developed at Project Work module. In a case if student does not pass Project Work module, they should develop idea themselves without receiving Project Work module ECTS credits.
The course is available for doctoral students. The online lectures and quizzes will be available from March 2025, and industrial working cases (project work) will be available from April 2025. Students will participate in the weeklong (five days) Summer School From July 29th to August 2nd where project work results will be presented, and venture-creation opportunities will be provided.
Registration and payment closed on 15.04.2024.
