 This seminar is unique in the following:
   * Broad spectrum of topics related to time and frequency
-  * Broad target audience, yet keeping high level education
   * Balance between academic and applied issues
-  * Laboratory sessions.  This is not about demos, the attendees are expected to practice on a wide range of instruments made available
+  * Broad target audience, yet keeping high level education
+  * Lab sessions.  The participants work themselves in small groups with a wide range of instruments made available.
 The high level of training is guaranteed by the world-class [[current:02_scientific_council|Scientific Council]] and lecturers from the major European and International Institutions

+====Thanks====
+The EFTS can happen only thanks to the good will and to the voluntary work of numerous people.  None of us is paid for this additional burden, and sometimes lecturers choose to travel on their own research grants.
+As the intellectual pursuits of academia are largely in the realm of the gift economy, by far the greatest reward is found in the appreciation of one's work by one's colleagues.
