3. Course Registration:

Please inform Helga Gebauer in the first half of the semester (until October 31) about your choice of courses.

4. PhD Advisors:

During the next semester you should find a supervisor for your PhD thesis. If this proves difficult, please come and talk to the program director, E. von Thadden. When you have found a supervisor, please let Helga Gebauer know.

5. ENTER:

Every year, the ENTER program organizes its annual jamboree in one of the partner universities. At these jamborees, selected students and faculty from all participating universities discuss their research for two days in workshops and interact informally. The next jamboree is in Mannheim on February 2-3, 2007. The spots available to CDSEM students are allocated by H. Grüner and W. Bühler according to performance and participation in the CDSEM seminar or a finance doctoral seminar.
