- In some, sporadic, instances the lectures will be also given online and the students will be allowed to attend remotely.

Structure:

The course is structured with 1- or 2-hours long time slots and with three types of offers:

1) Seminars: >=1 hour on current research/technological challenges, delivered by specialist.

2) Lecture: >=2 hours on a more general topic of broader relevance and less technical details.

3) Short course: >=3 hours on an additional supplementary skill. Examples may include a focus on programming or on an area of transversal interest.

The detailed program will be published in the course of the semesters as long as we get confirmation from the speakers.

 

 

Assessment methods

At the end of both semesters the students will edit a short report on 3 lectures at their choice and send it for evaluation.
