Specific DTU issues

• According to previous agreement, time is being
  planned to give the host an opportunity to
  present their organisation, and to present the
  programmes, projects, methods, results,
  facilities (etc) deemed to be of particular
  interest to our guests.
• Furthermore, the CDIO project and theme leaders
  will give a VIP presentation for the benefit of
  an invited DTU-audience Rector, deans, head of
  departments, and other key persons. The
  presentation will be followed by discussions.
• According to custom, DTU shall invite to the
  meeting proper (7. 9. Oct.) a somewhat higher
  number of colleagues in order to anchor the
  initiative with a bigger group of people at the
  DTU. The following is suggested up to a max of
  four colleagues at each theme.
• DTU proposes to have eight students (two for each
  theme group) join, but are standing by on the
  issue until the question about the students mode
  of operating at the meeting is cleared up, see
  slide outstanding questions.
