Schedule

We have created a repository on Open Science Framework where participants can upload their posters and slides. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to make their work available to one another as well as to those who are unable to attend the conference.

A pdf with the updated program (as of June 14, 2017) and all abstracts in alphabetical  order can be found here .
