Scientific Program

Besides the dedicated poster session on Tuesday the coffee breaks provide additional opportunities for all participants to present their posters. All posters will be presented on Tuesday in a short lightning talk by the respective presenter.

There will be a welcome reception on September 16 at 7 pm followed by dinner.
