The locations listed below are located in the main building of this hotel. Each day will have two sessions: one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Most sessions will be focused on one of the more interesting topics occuring in current and popular research. If there is no programme listed, participants are encouraged to proceed in informal discussions on personal research. To first introduce each other with one's interests, there is the possibility to present your own favourite topics on Tuesday evening.
