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 they will then work on under the supervision of the contributing faculty staff in the respective working groups and labs. Please contact the supervisors of the research project you would like to carry out before the preparatory meeting (for details on available projects see http://ter.csb.univie.ac.at/mec-4 ) .
The course will be held in physical presence, but is subject to change to a hybrid or online form in case COVID regulations will require it.
