News

20.04.2020: We will hold a test online lecture at Tuesday, 21.4.2020 at 14:00, so we can check whether the technical setup works. If you are not available, do not worry, no content will be discussed, but you have the chance to detect technical difficulties early on. More details will be provided via e-mail. To receive this email, register in the Waffel system.
20.03.2020:  Important:

EASY will be held as an online course if the Corona-virus situation does not allow face-to-face meetings. As this increases the organisational efforts and due to limited measurement hardware, the course is restricted to 10 participants. Please subscribe in the Waffel system for participation.

If EASY will be held as an online course you are required to attend video conferences and have the appropriate audio equipment available to participate in discussions during the course.

Organisational details will be provided in the first lecture. We will inform all registered participants about date and location for the first lecture.

20.03.2020: Initial version of the website is online.
