They may share initial findings and raise open questions for discussion. Each presentation, followed by a discussion, will be allocated 30 minutes in total (15 minutes for the presentation, followed by 15 minutes for discussion). On the evening of the first day, a public lecture will be held, to which all participants and other interested guests are invited. This will be followed by a group dinner, offering participants the chance to engage in cultural exchange and network with peers from different universities.
