Project Presentations

The project presentation sessions, next to projects of the participants of the Summer University, will feature presentations of advanced institutional and / or funded projects.

The project presentation sessions take place in the lecture hall of the Bibliotheca Albertina.

We have tried to organise the projects to be presented in such a way that they either complement each other or broaden the topics which are being approached by the individual presentations.
