Talks, lunches and dinners etc all take place at the Carlsberg Academy. Here is a rough sketch of the program:
Friday, November 29
The Carlsberg Academy opens at 9:00. The scientific program starts at 9:30 and runs until 18:00. Lunch will be served at noon, and a dinner buffet is served from 18:00 to 19:30.
Saturday, November 30
The Carlsberg Academy opens at 8:30. The scientific program starts at 9:00 and runs until 17:00. Lunch is served at 12:30. There is a one hour break for leasure or scientific discussions (17:00-18:00), followed by a welcome beer and the conference banquet.
A note to speakers: The conference hall (the Pompeii hall) is equipped with computer and double screens that nicely can accommodate beamer presentations. Please bring your talk on a USB stick. There will also be two (small) paper flip-overs as a supplement.
