Programme
Each day consists of four 1.5 hour lectures starting at 9:00. There will be coffee breaks following each lesson and a lunch before the third lecture at 12:30. Lectures end at 17:30 after which there is time for social activities, doing exercise in the surrounding area or visiting Haapsalu town. For any questions regarding the summer school, please contact us at excosm2025@ut.ee.
