Rough agenda for the LPF training plus information about the social event
The training takes place from Tuesday 10th to Thursday 12th of June from 9am to 5pm. There will be coffee breaks and a lunch break.
Agenda
On June 9th, there will be a drop-in session from 4pm to 7pm in the same place as the training (AEI Hannover, large seminar room 103). Because of the public holiday the institute door is only open from 4pm to 5pm!
