Reidunn Aalen Symposium

The official program starts at 13.10 with talks and greetings from colleagues and collaborators. After a late lunch break, we continue with more talks and greetings- before we round it up around 17.00.

In the evening we have reserved some tables at Trattoria Populare and hope that some of you would like to join for dinner. Dinner is now fully booked and registration is closed.

In order to plan the event further we have made a short form where you can indicate if you can participate and also indicate dietary requirements for the lunch. Please fill the form at your earliest convenience (takes only 30 secs) and before Monday 27 November at 16.00.

We hope to see you on the 30th and look forward to meet colleagues and friends!
