The workshop begins on July 21 at 11am. It will be conducted in a convent which is located on via Dante, at the outskirts of the town, overlooking a soccer field. It is a short uphill walk from the Hotel Il Castello.
The goal of each presentation is to familiarize the audience with the core structure and findings of the paper, and then take the detailed discussion of the paper and comments to informal interactions between participants that follow during the breaks. Each presentation lasts 25 minutes concluding with 5 minutes (max) of discussion among the audience. There is no designated discussant. Only clarifying questions will be allowed during the presentation.
