    Danta is pleased to announce our 2018 field courses in tropical biology. Our course are intended for undergraduates or early graduate level students who have a keen interest in tropical ecosystems and conservation, but have little or no experience of working in a tropical environment. Participants may enroll on either a credit or non-credit basis.
    DANTA operates on a cooperative and collaborative teaching model with multiple international instructors on each course. Co-instruction allows for more individualized instruction, and the sharing and appreciation of different ideas. Visiting scholars are often incorporated into the curriculum to broaden student experience.  As much of our advertising is done by word-of-mouth, we encourage you to spread the word by forwarding this information to students or friends who may be interested in our programs

  • Date: July 29 to August 4, 2018
  • Key Info:  The workshop not only offers lectures, but also some hands on experience to the students. They are particularly interested in recruiting students who may be interested in graduate studies (MS or Ph.D.) at UCF. The workshop will provide a limited number of scholarships to undergraduate student attendees. The travel award will cover six nights of lodging on the UCF campus with a registration fee waiver. This one-week long workshop is designed to provide the attendees with a broad view of industrial applications of nanotechnology through a concentrated program that includes both lectures and hands-on experiences. The lectures are given by a mix of academic faculty and industrial scientists, directors and managers with years of experience and funded research ​ projects in nanotechnology product development.​
