Program

The format of the workshop follows that of Gordon Research Conferences. Sessions are chaired by renowned experts who will give a 10 minute introduction to the session and actively moderate the discussions. Talks are 40 minute long followed by a 10 minute discussion, and each session ends with a 30 minute discussion with all the speakers.

Below is the program for the workshop.
