Course literature

No textbook is required for this course. The slides and reading material will be provided during the course.

Course design

The course includes

  • lectures held by the examiner and international scientists
  • implementation of a project (facilitated by Hoor and Silvia)

Material will be posted in Canvas.

Changes made since the last occasion
