This is a seminar for Bachelors, Masters and PhD students completing their project work or thesis in the Software Composition Group. Scheduled talks generally present recent progress in project work or research. Normally, the seminar takes place on Tuesdays at 10h15 in our seminar room (room 107, Schützenmattstrasse 14).

Students taking this as a regular seminar must register with Academia. Those who are not BeNeFri Joint Masters students (eg Bachelors students, Erasmus students) must apply for access to Academia to register. Students will work on a small, supervised project during the semester. Due to the high cost of supervision, participation is strictly limited (selection will be based on the results of a short quiz).

Masters students taking this as a seminar towards their MSc degree, and Bachelors students taking this as a Proseminar, (presently) do not have to register in Academia.
