In the recent years, the agenda for the EPPOG Masterclass Project Day has set to a more or less standard setting. However, by providing 4 different topics for students to choose from for their exercises, the agenda can only be a suggestion to you and the conditions at your institute.

The most important point is though that the beginning of the video conference is a fixed value for all participants. Please keep that in mind when altering the agenda for your local program.
