CONFERENCES
For the first time, several key organizations and institutions of higher education have joined together to hold a conference.
The Chairman of the session starts the meeting with an opening address. The structure of the Conference is outlined in the program distributed beforehand. It includes sessions of several working groups or workshops. In addition there is a plenary session on the first day and general closing sessions later.
The plenary session includes invited lectures by prominent researchers who surveys recent developments in their respective areas.
Each participant has about twenty minutes for the normal presentation of his paper in working groups and about forty minutes for the lecture in the plenary session. Everyone has a chance to participate in the discussion and exchange of personal experience during the private discussions.
The Conference provides a stimulating ground for exchange of information and for the generation of new ideas.
