Program
The scientific program will consist of 26 lectures by invited speakers (30 min + 10 min discussion) and a poster session.
The talks take place in the Lecture Hall for Theoretical Physics on the ground floor (room 294). The registration takes place in the conference office in front of the lecture hall.
