Group schedule

Find your group number in the table below and lookup when your seminar will be. The seminar will be about 50 minutes, and it is important to be on time. Notice the odd starting time (10 minutes past)! This time all seminars will be in Zoom, in different rooms for different groups, see below.

If you are not able to attend your group's seminar, you have to read in the course memo what to do.

Find the Zoom link of your group in the table below. (The table will be filled in by the mentors before the seminar.)
