General
Let's get that thesis and honorable MA degree done! The meetings are on Wednesdays 13:15 to 15:00 online on Zoom – you'll receive the link by email if you're registered. Don't trust the MyCourses calendar, this main page only.
The schedules will be constantly updated when people book presentation slots. Here is the schedule for the Wednesday afternoon sessions. Note that there are no lectures on workshop weeks. There won't be an evening seminar in spring 2022, just the afternoon one.
