The VertInnovation summer school, organised by the GDR Vertige, is an intensive week-long course focusing on research into otoneurology and vestibular disorders. It offers theoretical courses given by international experts and practical workshops in small groups, and takes place every year in July on the St Charles campus of the University of Aix-Marseille. Sixteen participants are selected on the basis of an application and receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the summer school. This year, two members of the Activest team will be present at the VertInnovation summer school.
