We gave extra money 50€ for each students/teachers who took part of intensive course Aalborg 2018 as additional travel support.

Planning the intensive course /Nordplus Camp in Stavanger 2020

Participants: 5 Students (4th or later semester) Students and 1-2 teachers from each University. In addition, master level Students can take part as Teachers. Techers can be expect on simulation teaching or also beginners who is interested in simulation learning. Technical assistants are not suitable for this training. Deadline for Student/Teacher selection is 15th of June 2019. If we get extra money for networking all selected teachers can take part to next Nordplus meeting in Stavanger Autumn 2019. Ideal situation is that selected teachers has possibility to plan this course together (also via Internet)
