Scientific Contribution:

The summer school is a good opportunity for the participants to present their research. There will be a poster exhibition, but also a few oral presentations (20 min). For this purpose, we encourage the participants to submit a scientific contrinbution in the form of a one page abstract to A Tredicucci.
