Past event | 2023 Winter School on Therapeutic Ultrasound
March 19-24, 2023
Ecole de Physique des Houches, France
Organizers: Gail ter Haar (London, UK), Vera Khokhlova (Moscow, RU), Jean-François Aubry (Paris, FR)
This Winter School will explore the rapidly emerging field of therapeutic ultrasound. Topics will range from an introduction to the physics and biophysics necessary for understanding these techniques through to their clinical application. This is a broad and complex topic in which the synergy of a multidisciplinary approach is particularly valuable. The Winter School will encourage this approach. Each topic will be covered by an invited speaker who is a world authority in the field.

The institute is asking us to arrive on site Sunday March 19th after 3pm and to leave the site Friday March 24th before 3pm (after lunch).

For those coming by plane, the easiest way is to arrive in Geneva and take a shuttle to les Houches. When possible, we will organize airport transfers from Geneva for small groups of participants. Please plan to arrive on Sunday March 19 and leave on Friday March 24. You will not be able to stay at the Institute before or after the school. Finding a hotel nearby will be difficult as well : plan to book a hotel near your Airport if you have no other choice for arrival or departure date.
