Progetto UPO Openthesis

This course is designed as a brief practical introduction to the Python programming language, specifically for students with a biological background. It consists of four lectures covering the basics of the programming language, followed by hands-on exercises aimed at understanding specific simple examples of usage and analysis. No prior experience in programming is required; however, the course is intended for students genuinely interested in using Python in their research work. Deliverables: provide students with basic knowledge and a working methodology to further explore programming through more advanced courses and studies. 

Registration on the DIR platform

The course is aimed at definition of rules for the development of patents, for the protection of intellectual property and related exploitation. During the course are also developed the principles of applications of technology transfer with particular reference to the organizational model of spin-off.
