PROGRAMME

Programme as of December 1, 2009

The conference will take place from Tuesday noon, 8 December, to Wednesday afternoon, 9 December. There will be a dinner buffet in the evening on Tuesday as well as a lunch buffet on Wednesday.

The conference venue is the lecture hall of the AIP. The conference language is English. The duration of talk is 12 minutes, plus 3 minutes discussion. You may either bring your own laptop (VGA and large DVI connectors available) or bring a USB stick with a PDF or Powerpoint file. We cannot play Powerpoint 2007 though. Posters can be places on A0 walls.
