New semester, new start!

We are back after a long time period of idleness....no special reason for that, just the fact that most previous semester students did not have internet access...so no time for blog surfing!
Now, I would like to welcome my new students to this spring course! You can visit this blog any tile you feel like wanting to learn what is going on at the moment in the EU. There can also be annoucements about the course, exams or extra materials, although emails can also prove similarly helpful. I wish you a fruitful semester and an enjoyable stay in this small but quite beautiful town!
