All seminar rooms and lecture halls are equipped with computers (PC), USB-ports, internet connection, loudspeakers and digital projectors. All usual file formats will be supported. However, not all rooms are equipped to play back analog or digital media on disk (VHS, DVD, CD-audio, etc.). We therefore recommend that all required media are playable on a computer system (VLC-compatible file formats or links to websites, e.g. youtube).

Please note that all files locally saved on the seminar room computers will be automatically deleted overnight. You will therefore need to bring a data stick (or access online files) on the day of your presentation.
