Preliminary programme
The meeting will be a Focus Workshop involving numerous discussion sessions to promote intensive interaction between the attendees.
On April 8th there will a joint session with IFISC and Hyman Lab (MPI-CBG, Dresden) at the UIB Campus.

In the afternoon the workshop wil continue in Hotel Rural Monnaber Nou.
