NOTE: Mornings will be dedicated to structured talks, while less formal discussions will take place in the afternoons. We have seeded some of the afternoons with possible discussion topics, but we encourage all participants to propose (and perhaps lead!) afternoon discussions relevant to the goals of the workshop. Please let us know if you would like to add a discussion to the program. If you want to help preparing a discussion which is already listed here, feel free to contact the discussion leader and coordinate material.
