Preliminary Program
Each session will have four invited speakers and in addition another 3-4 speakers chosen from the abstracts submitted, with preference given to students and postdocs and young investigators.
In addition to the oral presentations we will also hold a poster session for those who didn’t get a chance to present orally. A cultural tour will be organized as well (more details will be provided to attendees).
The Workshop is postponed until further notice
