Seminars will take place either in person or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that the designation \u201conline\u201d means that at least one contributor will be participating remotely and, at minimum, their block of the session will be available online. In most cases, the majority of participants will be in Lausanne and only one or two contributors will be participating remotely so we encourage in-person conference attendees to go to the designated room to view the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current schedule is based on information provided by 29 April 2024. Categories are based on convenors’ preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
