In difficult times such as these, it is important to remain optimistic about the future; therefore, we are planning this event to be a physical one. However, should the circumstances be unfavourable, we will move the events online, either partially or, in the worst case, entirely. Moreover, should some attendees not be able to travel, we will set up a video link.

A preliminary schedule can be found here.

We advise that you do not make any bookings before we have confirmed that you can indeed participate.

Directions for travel to the University of Regensburg can be found here.

Participants will be responsible for arranging their own accommodation. If you are interested in sharing accommodation and/or coordinating your travel plans with other participants, please allow us to share your contact details by ticking the appropriate box during your registration.
