Academic Calendar
On our homepage you can see when this Calendar was last updated. For programs in the past please consult Bulletins 2003-2025 ~ each bulletin contains the complete, day-to-day program of all DAI Weeks and Confluences since 2003.
Every academic year we gather for collective study (contact hours) during 7 so-called Confluences at a variety of locations. DAI is a full-time program: dedicated self-study is requested in between the Confluences.
