About
Theoretical as well as practical training with hands-on tasks
The 5-day Academy Program is tailored to provide value to researchers of varying experience levels, industry, or academic interests. Our agenda includes theoretical knowledge and best practices for biosensor modules relevant to your group. Hands-on training with biosensors allows attendees to become proficient at designing and executing studies, as well as analyzing data and presenting results from study to report.
Attendees are presented with an iMotions Academy Certificate following program completion.
The iMotions Academy is available at $2200 (excl. VAT) per person at the Boston Academy. Request full details, as well as pricing for Boston and Singapore Academies.
