| Comment | Number of participants limited to 12. In the Master Programme max. 10 credits can be accounted by Labs on top of the Interfocus Courses. Additional Labs will be listed on the Addendum. |
| Abstract | In this course students will develop solutions for algorithmic problems posed by researchers from other fields. |
| Objective | Students will learn that in order to tackle algorithmic problems from an interdisciplinary or applied context one needs to combine a solid understanding of algorithmic methodology with insights into the problem at hand to judge which side constraints are essential and which can be loosened. |
| Prerequisites / Notice | Students will work in teams. Ideally, skills of team members complement each other. Interested Bachelor students can apply for participation by sending an email to steger@inf.ethz.ch explaining motivation and transcripts. |
