Selection is based on the motivation letter, and suitability of your field of study to the project. Those with prerequisite courses or relevant similar background have priority. Teams of five will be formed with various disciplines. All Master's and PhD students from Aalto are eligible to apply. Through JOO-agreement also students from other Finnish universities can apply.
Students will have to be able to travel during the course. In principle travel is at student's own cost. Some of the projects may have external funding. However, students are encouraged to apply travel grants and sponsors as part of their course assignments.
Teaching times will vary during spring semester. Joint weekly meetings apply only in the beginning of the course (Jan). Each team will be supported by a mentor throughout the course.
