Below you find the preliminary program - there are still some topics missing, so stay tuned for updates. Participant's presentations are 10 minutes + 2 minutes for questions. The list of topics, the lecturers, and the duration of their contributing presentations is listed at the bottom of this page. In case of bad weather we might shorten the lunch break so that you have more time in the evening.
