There will be no more talks this semester. The kindergarten will be back next semester. It will take place every Monday (room 3-010 at 10h00) and every Friday (room 3-010 at 16h00).

The previous semester (1/16), the kindergarten took place every Monday (room 3-102) and Thursday (room 3-104) from 19h00 to 21h00. Here you may find some
