Program

Conference Structure

The program offers oral presentations of international experts as well as sessions for poster presentations. They will cover a broad range of different topics of the conference research field, future trends and emerging technologies.

The conference also provides the opportunity for networking and time for informal gathering and open discussions during the coffee breaks or in the evenings.
The spacious monastery complex with its nice convent garden or its monastery coffee house offers the best conditions for meeting and exchange.

All program activities and sessions except the social program will take place in the plenary hall and the meeting rooms of Schöntal Monastery.
