5. SUMMER SCHOOL… Background FORTE Summer School, August 2016
It all started because we do have to study and prepare ourselves for annual and final exams.
Indeed with the raising awareness with the EBOT Exam we felt there was the need of having some kind of structured preparation forthis exam.

8. Location FORTE Summer School, August 2016
Faro, it is nice in August, plenty of accomodation
Portugal is still a cheap country to visit for the others in Europe
Faro has a University so we thought about using the university accomodation for the “students”
Direct low cost flights to many destinations
