About the Summer School
Three summer schools are planned during the project. They will be concentrated in the first two years of the PhD programmes. All summer schools will be opened to a general public, as university students, clinical doctors and professionals in the biomedical engineering business. During the summer schools, each ESR will present his/her research.
This edition will be held in the University residence in Jaca, belonging to UNIZAR and including teaching facilities. The event will focus on modelling and signal processing techniques and its application to AF management, emphasizing the future challenges in the development of tools for detection, diagnosing, therapy delivery and monitoring.

University Residence of Jaca
The summer school will take place at the university of Zaragoza residence at Jaca. The residence was opened in 1929 as part of the university's infrastructure for summer courses of Spanish language. During summer, it continues to host the university's summer courses and during winter it becomes a privileged place for practicing winter sports.
Jaca is a privileged site in Aragon due to its communications with both sides of the Pyrinees. During winter, one of its main attractions are the sky resorts of Candanchú, Astún, Panticosa and Formigal.

How to arrive
TO JACA
By car
Jaca can be reached from Huesca and Zaragoza by the national road N-330 (Motorway A-23 is still under construction). From Pamplona it can be reached by the N-240 (Motorway A-21 is still under construction). For information about the road conditions call TELERUTA: Telf 900 123 505, or check www.dgt.es . Further information: www.carreterasdearagon.es
By bus
There are several regular bus lines from Zaragoza, Huesca and Pamplona with daily and direct services. Check the following webpage for timetables and information: www.avanzabus.com In the surroundings of Jaca there are services for the Alto Valle del Aragón where a regular line joins the main populated areas from the Valley (Castiello, Villanúa, Canfranc and the ski stations of Candanchú and Astún).
By train
RENFE offers regional services that connect Jaca and the Aragon Valley with Huesca, Zaragoza y Madrid. Further information in www.renfe.com
TO ZARAGOZA
Direct flights to Zaragoza
You can check all airlines that operate in Zaragoza Airpot in this web page: Airlines in Zaragoza Airport. This airport is located at 20 minutes from the city centre by taxi. There is also a bus connection every 30 minutes.
Flight to Madrid or Barcelona + High speed train AVE to Zaragoza
The fastest option to get to Zaragoza from Barcelona or Madrid is to take the high-speed train (AVE). Trains run hourly from 5:50 to 21:00 and arrive at Zaragoza in ~1h30min. Allow at least a 2h margin between flight arrival and AVE train departure.
We recommend that you buy and print your AVE tickets in advance here. If you are buying a return ticket, you can select fare type "IDA Y VUELTA" for both inbound and outbound trips, as it is usually the most economical option.
To take the AVE train, please follow these steps:
- If you arrive to Barcelona-El Prat Airport:
- Go to terminal T2 (there is a free bus connecting terminals), and follow the directions to take a commuter train ("cercanias")
- Take the commuter train to Barcelona Sants. The commuter train takes around 20 min. You can buy the ticket at the vending machines. You can check the timetables of Barcelona commuter trains here.
- In Barcelona Sants station, take the high speed AVE train to Zaragoza.
-
If you arrive to Madrid-Barajas Airport, you can get to Atocha train station either by bus or by commuter train
- By bus:
- Take the Línea Exprés (the express bus). You can find the timetables, stops and fares here
-
By train:
- Go to terminal T4 (there is a free bus connecting terminals), and follow the directions to take a commuter train ("cercanias").
- Take the commuter train C-1 to Atocha Train Station. The commuter train takes around 25 min. You can buy the ticket at the vending machines. You can check the timetables of Madrid commuter trains here.
- In Atocha train station, take the high speed AVE train to Zaragoza.
