Dear all, Concerning research groups for our challenge-track (formerly: talent-track) students: As was the case in 2014, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with our 2nd batch of challenge-track students (i.e. for their 2nd and 3rd year). The research groups may consist of an entire topical group or one or more subgroups, and – depending on the number of groups – are likely to receive about 2 challenge-track students for two semesters in the period E15-F17 (‘E’ and ‘F’ is danish for ‘autumn’ and ’spring’). Please include in your (preferably brief) response the name of the group you suggest, its main topic, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the semester (which product, oral presentation, report or something else?). If you are already offering challenge-track activities for our 1st batch of students, please let me know if your group is willing to offer again (if necessary, it may be limited to E16-F17 in case you are already committed for E15-F16). The deadline is Wednesday 24th of June, next week. Mvh. Ulrik ************ Ulrik I.
