Conference Schedule

Talks will be scheduled from the morning of Tuesday (July 26) through the afternoon of Friday (July 29) with a bicycle tour on Wednesday afternoon and a party at the home of Wolfgang Meyer on Friday evening. Each invited participant who would like to talk is welcome to submit a suggestion. The talks do not need to relate to Wolfgang Meyer's work.

All talks will be given in lecture room M4 of the lecture hall building (building #1 on the local map).
