Program

The format of the workshop will be one day devoted to tutorial lectures on Monday 9th of July followed by research presentations and other activities from Tuesday 10th of July to Thursday 12th of July.

All invited and contributed talks are 40 minutes and 20 minutes long, respectively (including Q&A). All the presentations will take place in room U119 in the U wing of the Aalto University main building (Otakaari 1); the poster session and coffee breaks will take place in the nearby open area. Check out a more detailed account of the workshop venue.
