Here's a basic description of the two courses you will have to choose from for this semester. Based on your schedules you will choose one of the two. They offer different but equally interesting opportunities. It is impossible to do an exchange with more than 25 students so you really need to divide yourselves in two groups. Otherwise, I'll have to make the choices for you.
We'll see!

hi Sarah,
my name is not in the list maybe because in the 1st semester I didn't attend the lab lessons.
I'd like to take part to the Padova-Poznan exchange. Let me know... this is my only possibility because I work!
thank you
Stefania
