Hello Murad many thanks for writing. It would be great if you can make it here. Your participation would surely enrich the course very much Unfortunately as of now we are currently NOT in a position to fund prospective students. Nevertheless we will try to search for possible funding opportunities/parties. All the best and stay in touch Antonio |
