he course focuses on Measurement Models and their application in the broader Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Framework. We will show how a theoretical model represented through measurement models can be applied to empirical data and estimations for its fit can be derived. Confirmatory Factor

What are the basic steps of oral storytelling? This workshop looks at how we can give the story its voice back. Storytelling enhances communication and presentational skills, as well as develops imagination and the ability to improvise. No previous experience is necessary.The art of traditional

Corporate governance is an area that has grown rapidly in the past few decades and is now at the heart of the global responses to the financial crisis of 2007-9. Corporate governance is about how a (public) company is structured and directed. With the process of economic globalisation, the

Topology is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of objects, which are preserved under continuous deformations, including stretching and bending. In past few years a new field of topological insulators and superconductors has emerged in condensed matter physics, based on the

Bernoulli convolutions are a family of natural self-similar measures on the real line. Their study was pioneered by a young Paul Erd%C3%B6s in 1939, and many challenging problems remain to this day. The course will introduce the main properties of Bernoulli convolutions, especially in regards to

The course concerns nonlinear optimization, more specifically so-called nonlinear programming problems, which are defined by smooth linear or nonlinear constraint functions. We will present modern methods for solving nonlinear programs. In particular, sequential-quadratic programming methods and
