<br>
This is my pleasure to announce you the <b>12-day field trip across the Western Alps
</b>this September (9-20 September 2013) organized by </font><font><font>Grenoble University together with ETH Zürich and University Milano-Bicocca</font>. The field course is open for participation by Masters and PhD students.<br>
<br>
This field trip is designed to offer a <b>high-level course in field geology</b>, enabling students to improve their skills in data acquisition in the field, while learning about current research issues in
<span class="">Alpine</span> geology and confronting different
viewpoints on this topical mountain belt. Each day an internationally
recognised specialist of the area considered will act as the field trip
leader, allowing different points of view on the mountain
belt to be considered and placed in the context of western <span class="">Alpine</span> orogenic evolution.<br>
<br>
The courses will be in English and will allow validating credits (3 ECTS) for a Masters or PhD study programme.<br>
<br>
<b>Application will be possible by email until *July 26.*</b> The number
of participants will be limited to 20 students (priority will be given
to students from the 3 organizing institutions). We welcome applications
from Master or PhD students worldwide.<br>
<br>
