Registration (free) is open till 9.12. 2018.
Talks will introduce and illustrate use of the new facilities (see program below). The purpose of the poster session is to showcase research from the faculty and visitors in order to facilitate and initiate new collaborations. So, please, bring posters (new or recycled) with you!
