A typical day will be organized around lectures in the morning and in the late afternoon, with ample time in between for independent discussions. The school will be organized around a set of 10 long lectures (7.5-9 hours) and 10 shorter seminars (1.5-3h) spread over four weeks. Attendance for the full duration of the school is mandatory.
