Federated Conference Structure
Being federated, the conference is split into 4 co-located subconferences that follow the habits of each research community and that stimulate interesting disciplinary discussions. In some joint sessions and joint breaks, we would like to inspire interdisciplinary discussions and to introduce a stronger interdisciplinary mindset into the research communities.
