For Friday evening we have booked this place close to the dorm, for the farewell party, starting at 7: https://www.nastrelaku.cz/

The place does not serve meals (apart from some snacks) so it would be best if you ate something before.

1. From Wednesday morning onwards, grab ONE printed copy of the certificate in the Syntax room and fill out your full name and courses attended.
2. Drop the filled out form into a box in the Syntax room and collect it signed by the organizers on the following day or on Friday.
2′. If you are leaving earlier than Friday, come talk to András, Berit or Tobias.

Many of you want to present and so we will have the Open podium on Wednesday and Thursday from 17:00 in Syntax room!

Hi all, as announced at the welcome meeting, in week 2 after the scheduled classes, we will have some more events. On Monday, 1 August, at 5pm there will be a LaTeX introduction workshop.
