Talks will take place in the Esclangon building of the Jussieu campus, in room "Amphi Durand" on Tuesday 26 and Friday 29, and room "Amphi Herpin" on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28.

A smaller room (for up to 30 people) will also be available on Monday 25 for an informal get-together and, if prefered to "Amphi Durand", on Friday 29 for informal post-lectures discussions. This is room 101 in building 55/65. See location details

Talks will be followed by discussions. Ten minutes of discussion per talk will keep us in good shape.

Allocated times (in minutes) are listed with the speaker's name.

There will be a wi-fi available during the entire workshop.

There will be a videoprojector and a transparency overhead projector in the lecture hall.

A number of group dinners will be organized. See the details. If you would like to participate, please reply to the poll by adding your name and days of interest. Warning: the number of guests is limited.
