Early registration is an advantage, but not a guarantee for a seat in the class. Due to the limited number of seats, we reserve the right to select the participants that we think will benefit the most from the training.

Note: Registration is open for all NSC users. Registration is also open for people that are not NSC users, but in this case we generally require that you have an affiliation with a Swedish research institution in order to consider your registration.

We will inform you by e-mail as soon as we can regarding whether or not we can reserve a seat in the training class for you.
