The main events outside plenary activities and parallel sessions are the reception and the dinner. As they are approaching fast, some additional information may be called for.
Welcome reception and early registration
Pre-conference registration is available in the Student Union Building from 5 pm on July 1.

We will also have people from the organising team on site …
