Other course participants say
"Very informative presentations, which provided a great overview of different PV aspects. As someone who has mainly been introduced to handling of ICSRs at affiliate level, this course has been really good! I have definitely been motivated to learn even more about the different areas in PV. I especially want to praise the course leader, e.g. for sharing her experiences and thoughts. The course was well-executed with a good structure really good lecturers."
