Program information

Please see the online meeting information page for technical information on how the meeting will be run. Please make sure to ensure that all technical issues are solved prior to the first session. We will unfortunately not be able to provide technical support.

Most, if not all questions will be channeled through Slido using the links given in the schedule. NB: each talk & panel has a separate link.

Live and asynchronous discussions will be possible through Slack (registration required).
