Professors
The basic lectures are given by Jos Beishuizen. The “beyond”-lectures will be online in a later stage, and will involve several experts on the topics.
Program
The subjects can be watched and completed separately. The first topic (Perspectives) is mandatory, and is an intake requirement for the following topics. The whole programme is to be followed online, with two online meetings.
