Hi everyone,

This course is jointly organized by Chalmers and GU, and will bring together students from both universities as well as from a number of different programmes. We are truly excited to meet you on 22 March for the course introduction and the first lecture. We have chosen to locate it at both campuses, such that you get to know the environments at both campuses. For this reason, we will provide you with a schedule here on the Canvas page rather than relying on TimeEdit.  

Very welcome!

Jan, Helene, Proshant and Viktor
