programme

The programme will consist of 12 invited talks of 50 minutes each (followed by around 5 minutes of questions), and around 30 shorter contributed talks of 25 minutes (including question time). So we said before the conference and, incredibly, we were right on target. There were precisely 12 invited talks and 30 contributed talks presented. There also was a problem workshop at lunchtime on the second day (the list of contributed problems will appear here shortly).
