Format

The conference is scheduled to take place online (as a Zoom meeting), for 5 hours each day of the program.

We anticipate the live program to start at 1 pm CEST and finish at 6 pm CEST.

Besides invited review talks and lectures, the conference will include contributed talks and time allocated for discussions and social interactions.

The conference will have dedicated breakout groups on Slack to foster discussions and post files. We anticipate discussion on Slack to start one week before the conference.
