Tentative Program

Information for Contributors

The scientific program includes (see instructions below):

• on-stage talks of 12 + 3 minutes, from young researchers (May 26 afternoon only)
• plenary talks of 25 + 5 minutes
• talks in parallel sessions (working groups) of 20 + 10 minutes,
• posters

The participants are asked to indicate in the Registration if they are willing to present a poster.
The participants will have the opportunity of uploading in electronic format any proceeding, slides or poster that they are going to present at the workshop.
The program starts in the early afternoon of the 26th of May, and ends in the afternoon of the 29th.

Speakers in plenary session and on-stage

A laptop will be available in the conference room, where the speakers of plenary sessions are kindly asked to upload their presentation well in advance of their session.

Speakers in working groups

Presentations in a working group (WG) will be coordinated by the WG chair.

Posters

Up to 10 posters (format not larger than A0, preferred 70x100 cm or similar size) will be selected and accepted by the SPC. They will be attached in the room of the castle tower, and will remain visible during the entire duration of the workshop.
