The expectation (for credits) is that all course participants have read all papers; each participant will take on a particular responsibility on commenting one paper. There will be a social gathering in the evening, which is a very nice opportunity to meet the other PhD students in person.
Registration and papers are to be send to Helena (helena.seibicke@tik.uio.no) with Susanne in copy (Susanne.bauer@tik.uio.no).
The final programme will be sent out after the registration deadline.
