Most talks were selected from the submitted abstracts, and they will be presented in five parallel sessions. Click below to see the program of the parallel sessions (changes are still possible).
A map of all conference buildings and routes between them is available here and a map of the indoor facilities of the main building complex (Aula + Studenterhus) here.

Posters should be prepared in A0 portrait format.

Talk slots in the parallel sessions are 15 min including questions.

Friday evening: Conference dinner

To make the conference dinner affordable and accessible to as many as possible, we'll take it to a new kind of place: the indoor streetfood venue of Nicolinehus on Aarhus Ø (street address: Nicoline Kochs Plads 31). You'll only pay a modest registration fee in advance, otherwise you can order whatever you fancy and pay directly to the relevant vendor during the evening (bring your debit or credit card).
