In Theory and Practice
Lectures on various subjects are offered in parallel tracks. Subsequently there is enough time for Q&A sections with the consultant.
Those who would like to examine a subject thoroughly or want to test what has been learned previously are well advised to attend a workshop. Professional staff attempts to communicate a certain subject in detail over a period of usually 3 hours.
All workshops are summarised on the Workshops page. Registration in advance is required and a fee will be charged.
Talks for beginners are normally shorter and take place in smaller rooms so that the conditions for discussions and questions are more attractive and one can be more responsive to the audience.
