The workshop will start at lunch time Friday May 29th and it will end around lunch time Saturday May 30th (with lunch included both days).

Travel from Oslo and the stay at Klækken hotell (www.klaekken.no) will be covered by the individual institutions.

At the workshop the PhD.-students are expected to give a 20-25 minutes presentation of their ongoing research, the aim being to strengthen the professional communication between the combined group of PhD-students and teachers/supervisors.
