The attendance in the exercise slots taking place on Mondays, 14:00 - 16:00, is mandatory.
The first exercise slot will be used as introduction session. In this session, all required information will be provided. This will cover information about where to get required credentials and locations of the materials. We urge you to attend the introduction session. You can attend either physically or via the web access (see below).
