There will be two 90 min lectures each morning, starting at 9-10:30 and 11-12:30. In the early afternoon, 13:30-15:30, we will have group work, and at 16-17 we'll have a special seminar, or several shorter seminars. Please inform the organizers if any of you want to give a short talk.

The group work will give you an opportunity to discuss questions emerging from the lectures of the morning and prepare questions to the lectures. Each group will be visited by the two lecturers of the morning: 

  *** day 1 ***      13:30-14:00   14:10-14:40   14:50-15:20
Group A (132:028)    Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2    preparation
Group B (132:027)    preparation   Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2
Group C (122:026)    Lecturer 2    discussion    Lecturer 1

  *** day 2 ***      13:30-14:00   14:10-14:40   14:50-15:20
Group A (132:028)    preparation   Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2
Group B (132:027)    Lecturer 2    preparation   Lecturer 1
Group C (122:026)    Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2    discussion

  *** day 3 ***      13:30-14:00   14:10-14:40   14:50-15:20
Group A (132:028)    Lecturer 2    preparation   Lecturer 1
Group B (132:027)    Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2    preparation
Group C (122:026)    discussion    Lecturer 1    Lecturer 2

and then repeat in a similar fashion during the following days. The morning lectures will all be in 132:028 (the main seminar room in house 13, Roslagstullsbacken 23); the other rooms are the coffee room in the same house (132:027) and the main seminar room in the Nordita-West building (Roslagstullsbacken 17, 122:026).
