Lecture sessions (master class) and practical sessions will be taught. The first is geared to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and the second to the acquisition of practical skills related to theoretical concepts. In addition to this sessions one laboratory practical session in reduced groups (maximum 20 students) will be impart. Additionally, tutorial sessions in group may be taught.
