Preliminary Programme

This is a preliminary programme for the June workshop and will be updated regularly.

Morning sessions will be 9:30--10:30 and 11:15--12:30 with a tea/coffee break in between. Lunch will be at 12:30. (On Monday and Tuesday sandwiches etc will be available at Jodrell Bank.) Afternoon sessions will be 14:30--15:45 and 16:30--17:30, again separated by a tea/coffee break. There will be a `conference dinner' at a local pub, the Swettenham Arms, on Tuesday evening, as well as (even more informal) get-togethers on Sunday evening and Wednesday after the official end of the conference at lunchtime.

Please send me an email if the title of your talk is incorrect, if your contribution should be a talk instead of a poster (or the other way around), if you have been allocated too little or too much time or if you have any other questions about this page and/or the programme. If you're not listed in the programme, please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to present contribution as the programme is getting full.
