Due to uncertainty related to the pandemic the meeting will be held online using Zoom.  Direct any questions to the organizer Erik Tellgren.

Registration

Register using this form. Invitation links to the Zoom meeting will be sent out to registered email addresses shortly before the meeting.

Submissions for scientific presentations

Participants are encouraged to sign up for time slots for scientific presentations. Roughly 25 minutes + 5 minutes discussion. In the event of very many submissions, speakers will be selected to ensure a good geographical representation from major institutions of computational research.
