Speaker information

Please time your presentation to fit within the designated time span of 20 minutes, leaving 5 minutes time for audience questions and change of speaker.

Please send us a short abstract of your talk as latex source file or text file until May 28.

We recommend that you have at hand a USB flash drive with a copy of your presentation.

If you need to use your own laptop, a computer projector with VGA input is available, as well as adapters for some other inputs.
Please ask in time if the one you need is available, or bring your own adapter.
Please test the connection before your sessions begins.

Short presentations

Unfortunately, due to the large number of participants, not everyone will be able to give a talk.

We therefore invite all other participants to give a short presentation of themselves and their work to enable exchange and discussion between all workshop participants.

Short presentations should last 4 minutes, plus one minute time for questions and change of speaker.

To limit the time for speaker change, please send us your presentation as a pdf or latex source file until
June 3rd. Please also send us a short abstract as latex source file or text file until May 28.

Social program

Conference dinner

We will have a barbeque on Friday evening.
The conference dinner will take place on the first floor terrace of the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics.

Arithmeum

On Saturday evening, there will be guided tours of the Arithmeum.
