Extended workshop (1 - 15 October) and conference (9-10 October)
Participation in program and conference is done with the same registration form (see on the left).
For the conference the talks will start on Thursday, 9 October, at 9 am and will end on Friday. at 4pm
The daily routine follows a similar pattern each day.
