Register to the two-day course!
By registering to the course you can get the course content in two ways:
Live (synchronous) from 9:00 to 17:00 Pacific time on May 8-9 2023
Recorded lectures that will remain available for one month after the Live version of the course. This has been shown to to facilitate particularly participants in different time zones. Additional office hours have also been arranged early in the morning a week after the short course for questions from participants (see agenda)
In addition, the course includes significant time for discussion and consultations in joint rooms and break-out rooms with the instructors.
Note: Minor improvements/changes to the agenda may be made
