Result of the seminar allocation process
Due to the high number of registrations, an allocation procedure was carried out for some seminars. Please refer to the published list to see whether your registration was successful. You have been allocated a place in the seminars not listed and in all lectures if you have registered in the LSF portal.
In addition, there are still free seminar places which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. You can recognize these by the fact that the “registration/deregistration function” in the LSF is still active.
