- If this is a topical course (e.g. for Bioinformaticians, Physicist, etc.): Does the organization employ a support scientist for the intended topic? If so, which are the contact details?
- All participants need to be informed that they will need a GitHub account.

- How many seats and PC-screens are available?
- Is there a "Presenter PC"?
- Is it possible to plug in a laptop? (HDMI and/or VGA?)
- Please describe the "projector situation" (1 or more, need to have a key?).
- Does the lecturer need an adaptor for the projector?
- Which is the OS for participant PCs?
- Does the lecturer need an adaptor for the video projector?
