Revision as of 15:14, 30 June 2008

Publications Plan

  • Currently I only focus on thesis write-up. There are no specific goals for other publications.

Non-thesis-related personal plans

  • Follow SENSE/PENED accounting stuff.
  • Follow SOPRANO accounting stuff.
  • Follow DIEPTELO accounting stuff.
  • Prepare for SOPRANO Bilbao meeting (June 10-12).
