Preparations
Prior to the workshop, you will be sent different applications. We ask you to read one of them before the workshop – pick the one that is most relevant to you. While you read, take notes on any inspiration or tip that you will keep in mind when writing your own application. During the workshop, you will be split into groups to discuss the applications.

The workshop is organized in conjunction with the semester start kick-off. We will have a half-day workshop with a BBQ in the garden afterwards.
