According to GSTS guidelines, a maximum of 10 ECTS credits can be earned for activities outside of traditional, formal PhD courses.
These activities fall into two main categories:
1) conference participation
2) other activities considered as ad hoc courses.
Detailed guidelines for ECTS approval and the application form with each activity type can be found in this document: Approval of ECTS - other activities
