Please note that there is no limitation in the number of participants to the lectures, but the discussion groups are limited to
pre-registered participants. In case of overbooking, doctoral students will be given preference. There will be two parallel
discussion groups, one with “Ethics and social aspects” and one with “Science” focus. The participants will be informed
about their assigned discussion group after the registration is closed. The readings will be distributed to the participants a
few days before the symposium.
