Technical Program

The workshop welcomes approximately 45 participants. It is open to PhD students, Post Docs and other Early Stage Researchers. It will provide unique research collaboration and networking opportunities. It will also provide early stage researchers the possibilities of interaction with leading scientists.

The program will include lectures of 1 hour and several short talks. Some time slots will be dedicated to open discussion to encourage future collaborations.
