Mini-courses will take place on mornings, invited and contributed talks in the afternoon.

A visit of the "Neues Palais" or of the Park Sanssouci will be proposed to participants on the second conference day, this will be followed by conference dinner in the city of Potsdam.

A detailed schedule can be found here. The main conference room is building 11, Room 009 (ground floor).
