The Presentation (P) format is timed to: presentation=15-20 minutes, comments=2-3 minutes (for presentations with a commentator), a short answer from the author; open Q&A = 5 minutes.
Venues: Both W and P meetings occur in the room SB (Science Building), room 176. The breakfast, lunch and the coffee are served in room SB 175. The venue of the dinner will be determined based on the participants' preferences.
