    This course is project based and the projects will be performed in teams.
    Therefore, it is important that all participants are present at the first lecture for team assignments.
    If you can not attend, please fill out the form and send it to the examiner before the first lecture. The teams to the first project will be announced on the class August 31, hence it will not be possible to join the course after that date.
    You will be assigned to one team for the first project and another one for the second project.
    This year the projects will be provided by Sabre (Airline Solutions) and Tio100 (Healthcare).
    It is mandatory that you participate in the final presentations for the two projects, see the detailed course information below for the dates.
    We strongly encourage attendance to all scheduled team activites and will check attendance at those classes.

    This page is updated during the course to provide the latest information and material.
