Following the informal character of previous meetings a listing of the specific presentations and their dates/times will be compiled on 7 September in the morning, i.e., it will not be available prior to the meeting. If you have not already done so, please let us know if you intend to give a talk so that we have a rough idea of how many talks to expect. Poster presentations are also welcome.
