The school will start with on March 27th at 19h and end on April 1st at 14h after lunch.
Sunday March 27th
19h30 Welcome party and dinner
The program will consist of lectures given by invited speakers, poster presentations of the participants, a panel discussion as well as open discussions. The time-table is given below.
LECTURES:
The school will be organized with 16 lectures that will be followed by discussion. There will be 7 overview lectures of 2 h (lecture plus discussion) and 9 lectures of 1 h (lecture plus discussion) on more specialized topics.
POSTERS (oral and sessions):
We expect up to 50 PhD students/postdocs. Each one of them will:
- Present one poster (during the 2 poster sessions)
- Advertise his/her poster with a short oral presentation using 1-2 slide (3 minutes per person)
PANEL DISCUSSION:
5 selected lecturers will animate a lively discussion about future scientific perspectives in the field.
OPEN DISCUSSION:
will take place on an informal basis each day after lunch break
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES:
In addition to the scientific program, we also plan social activities like a hiking excursion on Wednesday afternoon and a special dinner on Thursday evening.
