We plan to run 2-3 parallel seminar tracks for most of the program. At least one track will be in English.

This time, we are planning to focus on workshops with capped amount of participants.
Since the detailed preparation of the program very much depends on the number of judges/presenters, if you are likely to arrive, please apply ASAP – don`t wait for the application deadline. We also don’t have unlimited number of rooms.
