Agenda
Two days on campus at Kiel University. Plenary talks in the morning, concurrent breakouts in the late afternoon, banquet on Saturday night. Times below are local (CET).
The printed running order goes out with joining notes the week before the meeting. Breakout seats are chosen on the registration form; if a room fills we move people to the next open session on the same hour. Poster authors stay at their boards through both afternoons so delegates can walk the foyer between talks.
Friday before the conference is optional: a morning workshop on long-term site monitoring (09:00–12:00). Sunday offers the same methods workshop in the late afternoon; you cannot sit both the Sunday breakouts and that workshop.
