Two parallel courses were held, namely:
Course A: "The Inner Planets" (Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars) and
Course B: "Astrometry and Interferometry" (including submilliarcsec-astronomy)
During the morning sessions lectures were given by well known European scientists on subjects related to the two fields. Engineering aspects and technical studies were presented in the afternoon sessions.
The afternoon presentations were followed by workshops under the guidance of tutors in which the participants were actively engaged in the design of a Mercury orbiter (Course A under the leadership of Marcello Coradini and George Scoon/ESA/ESTEC) and an astrometry/interferometry mission (Course B under the leadership of Serge Volonte and Robin Laurance/ESA/ESTEC).
Common lectures were given in the SCHRÖDINGERSAAL (upper floor). Course A was held in the SCHRÖDINGERSAAL (upper floor), Course B in the WALLNÖFERSAAL (lower floor).
