Program

The registration desk will be open on Monday
- From 8:45 to 9:30 - in LAB42 building (Science Park, 900)
- From 14:00 to 15:00 - in the main entrance hall of building Science Park 904 

So, go to LAB42 directly if you are participating in the morning discussions of the collaboration teams. Otherwise, come to the entrance hall of the main building in the afternoon. If you cannot make it during those time frames, just come directly to the seminar room (F1.02, see below) after 15:00. We will have your name tag ready there.
