Preliminary Program

Foto des Leibnizhaus, Hannover The Workshop will take place only on December 1st.
We limited the number of accepted papers in order to keep a high quality standard. Consequently, we reduced the workshop duration to one day.

The location of the Workshop is the Leibnizhaus in the old town of Hannover, close to the old city hall and the parliament of Lower Saxony.
