Participants
are expected to submit their presentations of PhD projects well before
the course (Overheads, about 5 pages of text, extensive litterature
list). With about 20 participants, not all can expect to have their
project presented. Selection will be made on the basis of scientific
quality, commonality among participants of the issue and the
difficulties addressed, and the degree of coincidence with content of
lectures. Some presentations may be sheduled together with related
lectures.
The discussion following lectures is moderated and opened by 1 or 2
appointed co-lecturers.
As some participants are coming from technical unversities, they may
use the visit to benefit from the rich collections of social science
titles at
Aalborg University Library.
The excursion to the National Park will include a presentation of the
institutional setting of this new arrangement in Denmark, and its
expected outcomes.
The exercises Friday morning are based on the formalism of Unified
Modelling Language. |
