Selection process

Participants are requested to prepare individually online via lectures, readings and other resources. Some common resources will be made available, some should be identified and selected by the participants themselves to fill gaps.

On the first day on campus the case question is revealed and the teams begin their case work.

Also, resource persons will be available to give feedback to each team.
