When you have registered to participate, you make your choice of specialization via the group enroll facility of Canvas.
The projects will be provided by the EOR professors, but the required data should be found and downloaded from sources that the participants choose. The first week is intended to form the teams, to introduce the projects, to discuss the required literature, to suggest where to find the data, etc. In weeks 2 and 3 there will be meetings to report the progress, to discuss difficulties, to comment on the work, etc. The final report is written in week 4.
