Organisation of the visit (see below)
13:15 - 13:30
Room: 13/2-005 Students will be split into 4 groups for the smooth running of the visits. We will rotate the 4 visits (e.g., group 1 visits AD Elena, while group 2 visits CLEAR, etc). At the end of each visit (45 minutes), the groups will then change buildings to join the next visit (the timing must be stricly respected by the attendees).
