WORKSHOPS:

Day 1 (Wednesday)

There will two Workshops held concurrently - Regular Workshop and Advanced Workshop.
Regular Workshop : on the regular features of FactSage 7.3. This is our traditional workshop format and is recommended for new users.
Advanced Workshop : on the advanced features of FactSage 7.3. This workshop is only recommended for users very familiar with FactSage.

Day 2 (Thursday)

In the morning there will two Workshops held concurrently - Regular Workshop and the Industrial Applications workshop. In the afternoon there will be the Industrial Applications workshop.

Day 3 (Friday)

There will be one mini-symposium during the morning. Participants are welcome to stay in the afternoon for one on one or small group discussions.

On Days 1 and 2 you may attend any workshop. Since the workshops are held in adjacent rooms, you can move freely between the rooms. On Day 3 all participants will be in the same room.

Workshop Instructors and assistants will be able to provide instruction particularly in their own area of research interest.

Most of the people below will be available for discussions:
