Third Public Tutorial Course - Mid-Frequency methods for vibration and acoustics

THE COURSE

The course is supported by the European Union via the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network project “Mid-frequency” (project ID no. 214909) and features:

* Free tuition, accommodation and meals for 30 delegates external to the Mid-Frequency Project
* Additional places for paying delegates: inclusive fee (full board and tuition £350)

The course will be fully residential and held at Chilworth Manor, an Edwardian manor house hotel, five miles outside the city of Southampton.  It is anticipated that most delegates will arrive on the afternoon or evening of Wednesday 21st March.  The course will finish mid-afternoon on Friday 23rd March 2012.

The course fee includes dinner and B&B accommodation for Wed 21st March and Thurs 22nd March, as well as delegate registration for the two days (including refreshments, lunch and course notes). An individual day rate is available on application.
