Location:
The workshop will take place at the OAC (https://www.oac.gr/en/) in Kolymbari, Crete (Greece). Information on the accommodation is available in a dedicated page.
At the same page you will find the procedure for young participants to ask for financial support: we have limited availability to cover part of the travel expenses and/or waiving of the conference fee for some selected young participants. To be considered for funding, you will need to submit an abstract for a talk or poster. The funding will be conditional on the delivery of the talk/poster presentation.
Remote attendance is not foreseen. We want to create the spirit of a scientific retreat, where serendipitous conversations lead to new ideas and collaborations.
Minimal schedule:
- 1 September 2026: arrival day (evening, dinner included in the fee)
- 2--6 September 2026: workshop sessions
- 7 September 2026: departure day (morning, breakfast included in the fee)
Please account for different timezones when consulting the timetable. In particular, Greece is on Eastern European timezone (GMT+2).
Registration and abstract submission:
Please register using the links in the menu to the left.
New registrations close on 20 July 2026.
