Sunday, 11 August 2024

đź“ŤSDU, Moseskovvej 65, DK5230 Odense M, room U163

On the first day of teaching – Sunday August 6th, we will take the tram together leaving from outside the hotel at 07:30 sharp.
Download the FynBus APP and buy your ticket before departure – preferably in groups of 3 or more to get the half price discount
On Campus, I will give you a quick tour (show you where the coffee maker is) before the teaching starts.
