RaukR 2020 has been CANCELLED
It is with heavy hearts that we have chosen to cancel this years RaukR due to the COVID19 pandemic. Even if the situation in Sweden is stable in June, which most prognosis’s doubt as of writing, it is impossible to guarantee for the rest of the world. Therefore, this is not the time to be hosting an international course.
We hope that you will apply to the course again next year. You can get a notification about it from us by registering at here.
If you want to check out the course materials from last year, you can find them here.
We wish you all the best. See you in 2021! Stay safe and healthy!
