Schedule

• REVIEWS: 50 minutes + 5 minutes for questions [total 55 minutes]
• OTHER TALKS: 15 minutes + 5 minutes for questions [total 20 minutes]
• PANEL DISCUSSIONS: 1.5 hours

We focus the programme on six topical questions. We expect only the more junior participants to give short presentations. The more senior participants will either give the introductory talk, providing the background for the question under discussion, or participate in the panel of experts, which based on their different perspectives will debate on the question (with other panelists and with the rest of the audience).

All panelists can contribute up to four keynote/powerpoint slides of material that they wish to show, during the debate, to argue their point of view. The slides can be uploaded on our upload page up to and including the day before the relevant panel discussion takes place. They will be loaded on a single computer and be shown during the panel debate by a coordinator (upon request from the given panelist).

We hope that this format will make it easier to identify by the end of the meeting those points on which there is very broad agreement and those questions which remain open and debated.
