Our workshop in Heidelberg will be from Monday morning the 5th of October 2026 to Friday the 9th at lunch time. The program includes alternating theory sessions with lectures and hands-on tutorials. We expect participants to arrive on Sunday evening (or Monday morning early) and leave on Friday.
We will add links to tutorials and powerpoint presentations in the week before the workshop.
