subject groups

Subject groups are established around research areas. The list of subjects-groups mentioned below has grown over the years. This year the subject groups are divided into two sessions:

  • A Poster Session during which (junior) researchers can give a short presentation (7 minutes, 1000 words) about their research and
  • A Paper Session in which (senior) researches present a longer paper (15 minutes, 2000 words) on their research.


Each subject group is led by the co-ordinator who structures the group(work). The co-ordinator usually contacts the inscribed participants and/or supplies further information
