Program

We will conduct a comprehensive full-day workshop dedicated to the topics previously mentioned for in-depth discussions. Our workshop session will feature 8 distinguished invited speakers, each allotted a 20-minute time slot for their presentations, followed by a 30-minute question and answer segment at the conclusion of each session. This format, which allows ample time for Q&A, is intended to stimulate active engagement and promote extensive participation and dialogue from the audience and different keynotes perspectives. To further facilitate meaningful interactions among participants, we have scheduled coffee breaks and poster sessions during the workshop. These planned intervals offer valuable opportunities for individual discussions and networking within the community.
