Sunday September 28th
19h30 Welcome party and dinner

The program will consist of lectures given by invited speakers, poster presentations of the participants, a panel discussion as well as open discussions. The time-table will be published soon.

LECTURES:
The school will be organized with 16 lectures that will be followed by discussion. There will be 7 overview lectures of 1 h 45 (lecture plus discussion) and 9 lectures of 1 h 15 (lecture plus discussion) on more specialized topics.

POSTERS (oral and sessions):
We expect up to 50 PhD students/postdocs. Each one of them will: 

  • Present one poster (during the 2 poster sessions)
  • Advertise his/her poster with a short oral presentation using 1-2 slide (3 minutes per person)

PANEL DISCUSSION:

  5 selected lecturers will lead an open question and answer session on a particular topic, or to provide a link between the different courses. They will also animate a debate on the future perspectives of the field

OPEN DISCUSSION:
 will take place on an informal basis each day after lunch break

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES:
In addition to the scientific program, we also plan social activities like a hiking excursion on Wednesday afternoon and a special dinner on Thursday evening.
