"The official inofficial organization pad for the reading group of the PETS Lecture (KIT) during summer 26.
Every paper-slot can be claimed by one student (every paper is read on Tue once, and on Thu once).
If you don't manage to get access to one of the manuscripts (using google scholar, for instance), you can email the authors or your professor, who has a
pdf of each of the papers (as a last resort)...
Thanks!
We'll collect all interested students and your availabilities ref weekdays first, and assign reading groups per person, after.
The reading groups will be:
