In August 2007 a new exciting degree course is going to open in the University of Colima. This is the first course of its kind in Mexico. For further information click here.

Summer School in Volcanology 2007
This summer the Centre of Exchange and Research in Volcanology will again offer a Summer School in Volcanology. The school will run during the months of June, July, August and September with more lectures being offered than last year. It is open to anyone who wishes to attend. During many weeks there is at least one lecture as well as trips to the field. Eleven students are confirmed from the UK, USA, France, Canada and Germany. Some will work on projects as part of their degree or masters courses. Lectures will mainly be in English and will take place in the main auditorium of the Facultad de Ciencias. We will take breaks when needed.
