Junge AG - Young AG

Time: Monday, September 13, 16:00-18:00 and Tuesday September 14, 09:00-11:00

Room: virtual JAG

Contact: Markus Hundertmark (Universität Heidelberg)

For the first time the meeting of the "Young AG" is expected to be a splinter meeting itself. In addition to the report and discussion session, we are soliciting talks for the two allocated time slots. Since 2020, we would consider all students and early postdocs to be "young" AG members, irrespective of actual age. Young members in that sense who want to talk about their theses or ongoing projects and could not find a suitable slot or prefer to talk to a different audience are invited to give a presentation. Contributed talks should take 10 to 15 minutes and we expect to have longer invited talks.
