Exam

The winter school is registered as an advanced course at the University of Oslo under the acronym IN-MOD-BER (Modeller og beregninger) as a "Nasjonalt forskerkurs i realfag". The exam was made available on May 2 2002 with deadline May 31 at 12:00.

To register for the exam, please contact (+47 22 85 29 59) at Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. Students registered at the University of Oslo need only provide name and social number. If you need to transfer credits you must also send the necessary documentation by mail.

If you are not a student at the University of Oslo and wish to transfer credits for the exam to your own university, you must provide information that certifies that you are a (doctoral) student at another university. The following rules applies:

... Dersom du ikke tidligere har studert ved vertsinstitusjonen, må du i tillegg til din søknad om opptak til forskerkurs vedlegge dokumentasjon på immatrikulering (for eksempel rett bekreftet kopi av borgerbrev) eller en bekreftelse på opptak til doktorgradsstudiet, utstedet av ditt hjemme-universitet. En slik bekreftelse må inneholde ditt norske fødsels- og personnummer. ...

About the Winter Schools

Winter schools in computational mathematics (137461/431) is a four-year project (2001-2004) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The winter schools will be held annually and last one week. The schools are aimed at graduate students and researchers at universities, research institutes and industry. Advanced undergraduate students are also welcome. The number of participants is limited.

The winter schools are held at Norwegian ski resorts and there will be time in the program for skiing and for other social activities in the evenings. The winter schools should therefore provide a perfect arena for making new contacts with other researchers.

About Geilo and Dr. Holms Hotel
