On Wednesday 30 September 2026, the evening before the first day, an informal get-together will take place from 7.00 pm at Wirtshaus am Kohlmarkt (Kohlmarkt 10, 38100 Braunschweig) (at your own expense).

The oral presentations will last 20 minutes, including discussion and introduction. There will also be a poster exhibition, with virtually no limit on the number of posters. Poster format: DIN A0, portrait orientation.
