Final Programme

The programme is organised into a series of six facilitated sessions of two or three talks. Each talk consists of a presentation followed by at least ten minutes of discussion, and each session concludes with a discussion of the session as a whole. All talks have 50 minutes for the presentation and discussion of the talk, except those indicated with an asterisk, which have 35 minutes.
