Scientific Program

The course material is available here. The students are encouraged to read the
lecture notes *before* each lecture, in order to contribute with questions they would
like to discuss in the beginning of each lecture.

Registration on Monday will be on the 6th floor of tower 2.

All participants will have lunch everyday on the 6th floor of tower 2.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch!
Only registered participants attending the lectures are entitled to have lunch...

The lectures will take place in room 312-2, on the third floor of tower 2.
