Program

  The  Program Details are now available.

Introductory slides (PDF) are also available to have relevant links and  other pieces of information available at one glance! 

Talks of 35 minutes and 25 minutes have been arranged. All participants, including all speakers, are welcome to bring a poster for discussions. All posters will be virtually on display throughout the conference. Live discussions will be possible in a reserved virtual room during the time dedicated to poster presentations. For planning purposes, we advise to proceed to the virtual check-in as early as 13:30 (Berlin time) on Tuesday 16, 2020. Check-in will include a quick testing of audio/video/ and file sharing (only for speakers) capabilities.
During your free time (coffee/lunch break), participants will have the opportunity to scroll through the list of posters prepared for the event. Participants are invited to suggest one or two poster (give author name by Chat). Selected poster authors will have the chance to give "Flash Presentations" (~5 min) in a dedicated virtual room during poster presentation time slot.
