Programme
The length of all lectures is 25+5 minutes including discussion. We strongly advise for strict timekeeping as it will be essential for the smooth running of the workshop and we kindly ask you for your help with it. Lectures must be in English.
Additionally, we are planning elevator pitch sessions to facilitate interaction with all participants, with presenting time limited to 5 minutes. In this case presentations will need to be uploaded to the workshop computer to ensure smooth and efficient transition between pitch speakers.
