Students will be allowed to take home all 3D printed products and the printed versions of their projects.
The intellectual outputs covered by this activity are O2, O3, O4 and O7.
Adjustments to this schedule will be made in accordance with the format of the Output materials and the availability of the people involved.
The final Agenda of the summer school will be finalised and made available to the participants at least 5 days before the start of the event.
