Parallel sessions A and B cover general topics of great interest, which will be examined in details in sessions C and D. Workshops are primarily addressed to experts and seeded by a number of introductory lectures delivered in order to open discussion among participants. Active labs are practical design laboratories during which participants will have the opportunity to apply theoretical notions learnt during the oral sessions to an actual case study or a practical activity with colleagues and experts as part of a working team.

Posters are continuously accessible in a dedicated hall and discussed in the presence of authors on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon from 16:30 to 17:00.

All times listed are in Central European Summer Time (GMT+2).
