      ECTS Credit-Equivalents for MSIT Winter School Participation

      While we do not directly offer ECTS credits, many universities recognize participation in the MSIT Winter School on Materials Chemistry as equivalent to ECTS credits. We encourage you to consult your institution regarding the possibility of credit recognition. The program spans four and a half days, totaling approximately at least 36 hours of engagement, including breaks.
