The participants will elect from the posters presented three for oral
presentation at the last evening. This is open for all young researchers
with age under 32. Those who want to be eligible should send an application
to the vice-chair ([log in to unmask]) after their participation to the
conference has been confirmed.
It is preferred that a participant presents at most one poster. Poster
contributions by the invited speakers are not encouraged.
A limited amount of support for the participation of students is available.
Please apply with the conference chair, Aart W. Kleyn
