As the epidemic situation in Austria is currently unclear, it is not yet possible to give a binding indication of the form in which the individual course dates will be held. Depending on the requirements of the Rectorate, the course will be held on site. In any case, the first meeting on October 12, 2022 will take place on site in seminar room 3, where we will discuss how to proceed together. Please check your mails on October 12 in the morning in case of last-minute changes.
