Program

Invited lectures are 60 minutes long, including Q&A. All invited and contributed talks are 40 minutes and 20 minutes long, respectively (also including Q&A). All oral presentations will take place in the 3rd floor of the University of Helsinki Main Building (Fabianinkatu 33) in either Room 12 (Wednesday) or Room 5 (Thursday and Friday). The poster session will take place in the 2nd floor.
