Requirements / organisational issues

For the allocation of seminar topics, a preliminary meeting will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at 4:15 PM in Seminar Room E.

Please send an email in advance to wanke@uni-mainz.de with a prioritized list of your desired topics (minimum of 2 topics, maximum of 5).

Registering for a presentation topic does not replace the registration on Jogustine, meaning: please make sure to also register on Jogustine!
