Social event
Exchange ideas with like-minded people. Join the evening program on Monday night and meet the other participants during our fun event, which is combined with a tasty dinner.
How do I get there?
You can reach the Academy training facility in Vienna conveniently by public transport. It is located in the middle of the city, only 3 minutes walk from the underground station “Friedensbrücke”. The tram lines D, 5 and 33 stop right in front of the building at the station “Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof”.
Are there any travel restrictions?
All participants must organize their own trip. We cannot give any information on current travel restrictions or visa regulations.
What about accommodation?
We do not provide any accommodation. However, if you sign up for the Summer School, you will have the option of staying at one of our partner hotels at a discounted rate. Alternatively, there are plenty of affordable accommodation possibilities in the city centre.

Tips from locals on the top three things to do in Vienna:
Enjoy the sunset at a Danube beach bar and take a swim in the river to cool off.
Watch a movie at the open-air cinema in the picturesque Augarten Park.
Take a hike in the Viennese vineyards and get a taste of Austrian warmth and hospitality.

Why attend Summer School?
If you are looking for a way to be better prepared and start off your next semester with more confidence, Ivoclar's Summer School program is the answer. Your university has provided you the best foundation. We offer you the opportunity to deepen that knowledge and advance the skills that you have gained, while learning about new products and techniques. You will leave knowing that your future patients will be in more capable hands; your own!
No matter what Summer School location you choose, you will be empowered to practice and advance your skills. We invite you to get to know all the different aspects of dentistry – from a clinical, interpersonal, and business minded perspective. Our program is designed to cover a wide range of topics, with a strong focus on getting you ready for your first patients.
To benefit from the program and guarantee a rewarding experience for the entire group, all the participants must have a similar skills level. If you can answer all the following questions with “yes”, then you meet the necessary participation criteria.
– Are you currently a dental student?
– Did you complete the hands-on phantom head courses at your university?
– Do you know how to operate handpieces (hold the handpiece, exchange burs, recognize the different shapes)?
Undergraduate students, who have not completed the pre-clinical courses in the skills lab, will not benefit from the program and are therefore not qualified.
The course fee for 2025 is €290 and includes five days of training. Included are all the materials and equipment needed for the workshops, hand-outs, lunch, coffee breaks, and one social evening event. Please bring your own work clothes.
