There will be about 20 talks and a round table discussion event at the end of the workshop. Plenty of discussion time will be provided. You are encouraged to think about questions and issues for the round table event. If possible please e-mail them to one of the organizers before the workshop.

Each talk will be of 25 mnts duration with additional 10 mnts for discussion.
