Location

This year, the conference will take place in Askja, the house of natural sciences, Sturlugata 7, 101 Reykjavík.

Program

The conference will be held in the afternoons of August 11th and 12th, ending with a conference dinner. It is possible to join just for the presentations and poster sessions, just for the conference dinner (to be held at Icelandair Hotel Natura), or you can join for everything.

Presentations

There will be three types of presentations at the conference:

  • Plenary seminars: There will be a few plenary seminars that are expected to be about 20-25 minutes long with 5-10 minutes for questions, for a total of 30 minutes per presentation.
  • Micro seminars: We will also have space for several micro seminars. These are expected to be around 10-12 minutes with 3-5 minutes for questions, for a total of 15 minutes per presentation.
  • Poster presentations: There will also be poster sessions at the end of each day. Presenters are asked to be at their posters at least for half an hour to present their posters and answer questions, and then they also have time to look at other posters.
