All participants are expected to register: Please, use THIS LINK.

The event will start at 12 am on Friday, followed by a get-to-gether dinner. On Saturday, the meeting will be closed around 4:30 pm. We aim at lively discussions with a collegial atmosphere, thus, we team up keynote speakers with PhD students/postdocs from Frankfurt.

The following Speakers confirmed their participation:

Information on accommodation: Hotel rooms for the speakers are organized, they are located at walking distance in Bad Homburg.
