The fall school will take place at Gutshof Sauen, a remote manor 70 km southeast of Berlin. The costs per participant are EURO 150 and includes full board during the fall school.

In addition to the lectures, exercises will be solved in small groups with solution sessions in the evenings. The language of the school is English.

Applications with a short curriculum vitae (including scientific background) and a statement of motivation could be submitted from May 1 until August 31, 2018. The form is no longer active.

The application should be supported by a letter of recommendation from a university faculty member. The number of participants is limited to about 25.
