Reflection seminar in May 2023

Here you find instructions for how to prepare for the seminar and the group schedule of the seminar. Before the seminar, you also need to write a reflection document and read and comment on other group members' reflection documents.

In this seminar, you will reflect on how computer scientists can help address key sustainability challenges, such as societal and environmental challenges.
