Preparing presentations: lectures and posters
We intend to prepare a program before the IMC starts. Usually, participants bring further presentations and latest results on a kind of last minute contribution. However, we would like you to indicate a topic or headline of your contribution (talk, poster) already when you register for the IMC. This makes it easier for the organizers on the one hand, but may be also more attractive for people who have not yet decided to attend the IMC. It could also let participants think about bringing extra (raw, unpublished or preliminary) data and material if a specific topic is announced. (Of course, this is always recommended, as discussions may yield new aspects and views on results and data.)The headlines listed in the schedule below are just a first attempt to group contributions and are by no means a final program structure. Speakers are also asked to prepare their presentations for the Proceedings (further hints will follow).
Last but not least: this IMC marks the 15th anniversary of founding the IMO. Hence it would also be a good idea to bring "old" photos etc.
Below we list the topics announced by now. Currently, this is an alphabetic list...
