Zoom Meeting Recording

The session was recorded. Here is the link:

Note: For organizational reasons, the WS26_14 project unfortunately had to be withdrawn. However, it is still included in the recorded project presentation. So please don’t be surprised if you can no longer find it in ILU - that is intentional.

Registration for the Projects

Registration runs via the ILU portal at TH Köln, as in the previous semesters. The registration procedure and the deadlines will be announced in the presentation and here on this page.

Each student must also submit one GP presentation peer review per each Guided Project he/she participated in. (I.e. you did 2 GPs => you need to submit 2 peer reviews). These peer reviews will be made available online (as ILIAS surveys) during the presentation. Projects with German titles will be presented in German, projects with English titles will be presented in English.

Note for the presenting teams

If you cannot attend on the date of your project, please discuss within your team how you can contribute in another way, for example by pre-recording a video or by preparing parts of the presentation that your team mates then deliver.
