Background Readings for Keynote Lectures

We encourage you to take a look at the readings before arriving in Copenhagen. The readings are relevant for understanding lectures and will be part of the group discussions; we thus strongly recommend that you read them as preparation for attending the summer school.

Note: You will need an academia.edu account (free of charge) to access some of the readings.
