Conference Programme

 

The conference will officially start on June 4 and end on June 7 in the morning. The arrival, with welcome drinks and subsequent dinner, is planned for June 3. Participants have the option to stay until the morning of June 8 and make use of the conference facilities to work on research projects or organise ad-hoc workshops.

There will be a keynote lecture before every morning session. At the end of Monday's afternoon session, there will be a special plenary session ("Monte Verità Lectures") and an additional invited lecture at the end of Wednesday's afternoon session. The second part of the morning sessions and the main part of the afternoon sessions will be allocated to shorter presentations of submitted papers, selected by the programme committee. According to the chosen topics, contributed paper presentations are assigned to specialised sessions. Sufficient time for discussion is scheduled at the end of every presentation.

 

The final conference programme is now available. Also check the overall timetable of the 2012 conference.
