Programme

RPL Summer School’s programme revolves around brainstorming and discussion sessions among the participants. The aim of this programme is for the participants to discover overlaps and connections in their research topics, find novel ideas, and establish new points of collaboration with other researchers throughout the summer school. For this purpose, a set of milestones are set to help the participants start potential collaborations by the end of the programme. There are also a number of keynote speeches and a panel discussion planned throughout the week as sources of inspiration to the participants.
