In order to get to know one another, it is common to share drinks and food. Thus, we organize
coffee breaks during the lectures as well as before. In addition, to have the opportunity to taste
local food we ask students to bring some simple food and drinks which are typical for their own
country and share them with the other students and lecturers. This event will normally take place
during the reception at 17.00 on Monday May 6th.
