About the project
Open lectures for PhD students in computer science, organized in Warsaw University, is a project which aims at broadening the choice of courses by invited courses given by top researchers both from other parts of Poland and from abroad.
We hope that this will result in the appearance of new research areas in Warsaw University, in broadeninig the perspectives of our students, and also -- for some participants -- scientific collaboration between them and lecturers.
Paricipants of the courses are both from Warsaw University and from other Polish universities.

Details
In each semester we invite three lecturers. A semester is usually divided into three sessions, each session takes two days (Friday and Saturday) and is compound of classes of two courses. Each lecturer usually comes for two sessions. To get a credit for a course students have to take a kind of exam -- usually it consists on solving problem(s) from a list given by lecturer.
Besides lectures we organize problem sessions and poster sessions with student presentations.
