Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is aimed at giving all new MEC students a first opportunity to participate in research hands on. The students will either work individually, or in very small groups together.
Each participant will choose one topic (viz. a small scientific project) that she/he will then work on under the supervision of the contributing faculty staff in the respective working groups and labs. Please check http://ter.csb.univie.ac.at/mec-4 for details on the available research projects.
The course will be held in a hybrid form. The preparatory meeting and the final seminar will be held online. The individual research projects will be carried out - if possible - in the lab, or in an alternative or online form, depending on the assigned research project, and on the COVID-19 situation.
