Welcome to CSC 2022 Live!

"CSC 2022 Live!" (this page) is the live blog/information-sharing channel of the organisers (Agnieszka, Tomasz, Sebastian, Joelma, Jarek and Kristina) and the lecturers with students during the School.

This is the place where we will post official information (schedule updates, links to surveys, logistics details of various activities) but also the fun stuff (pictures from social activities, sport competition results etc.). So please visit this page often.

We hope that you are as excited as we are to come to the fairly warm and sunny Krakow in just a couple of days! :-)

Have a safe travel - Agnieszka, Tomasz, Sebastian, Joelma, Jarek and Kristina
