Each morning and afternoon session will contain at least three lectures. Every lecture will be followed by an open discussion session, where students can address any issues related to the topics treated in the lectures. A daily discussion session "students only" will be organised, and the students will be given ample opportunity to raise questions emanating from these sessions.

Students can also bring manuscripts and drafts of papers and seek advice, or present their own research in poster format. Posters will not be included in the Proceedings book.

Participants are beginning PhD students with little experience in scientific writing. Because of the limited seating capacity, we are forced to exclude more advanced PhD students, and postdocs.

Audience: We aim for an audience with as wide cultural diversity as possible, as well as a proper gender balance. In order to achieve this goal, we will restrict registrations to no more than two participants from a same institute. This rule will be relaxed after the registration deadline.
