ESP is pleased to announce the 2012 ESP Photobiology School, taking place in Brixen/Bressanone in South Tyrol, Italy. The purpose of the school is to provide an introductory overview of all main aspects of photobiology, presented by experts in each area. The intention of the school is to cover the basic principles of photobiology and photochemistry of biomolecules as well as applications of such knowledge in understanding effects of climatic changes, influence of light on biological systems, applications of light in medicine and for other purposes. The school will include basic lectures in each field that should be attended by all participants as well as optional special lectures in the same fields. The students will have the opportunity to present their results at a poster session. The course may act as a fundament for further research in the photobiological sciences. The attendants may be MSc- and PhD-students as well as others who would be interested in an overview of the photobiological sciences. However, the course will be designed for PhD students.
An attendance certificate will be provided to all the students.
The course will end with an optional short final test and an exam certificate will be provided after evaluation of the exam results.
The school will cover the following areas:
Photophysics and photochemistry
Biophotonics - Light dosimetry in biological tissues
UV (from DNA damage to human skin)
Photoimmunology, UV and Vit.D and UVA signalling
Photomedicine
PDT and fluorescence diagnosis
Photosynthesis
Environmental photobiology
Photosensory biology

The School is mainly funded by the ESP and only in small part by the income from the registration fees. Therefore the School can accept only a limited number of students. PhD students attending the entire program will have priority. Approval of registration for PhD students will be on a “first registered and paid – first approved” basis. Others will be accepted if possible.

The registration fee covers attendance at all lectures, lunches, coffee breaks and one official dinner.
Lodging and dinners other than the official one are not covered by the registration fee.
Participants will be lodged at the Academia Cusanus (http://www.cusanus.bz.it/en/index.asp) which is at a 10 min walking distance from the School venue. Standard student accommodation is in double room at the rate of 32 Euro per night and per person. Only a limited number of single rooms are available at the rate of 37 Euro per night.
