School description > Research projects

The students will be separated in groups of four to five, and assigned to a research project under the supervision of an expert tutor. A total of 50 hours will be available to work on the projects.

The projects will be carried-on using the students own laptops (and access to remote servers when necessary), that shall ideally be running a Linux-like environment. Prescriptions concerning the software packages to be pre-installed will be communicated before the school.
