An important objective of the meeting was to confront both theorists and
modellers with experimental facts and problems, as well as the latest
developments in their own fields. We therefore adopted the format of having
entirely invited talks, with plenty of time for discussion. There was also
a poster session (in the bar) for people to present their own work. This
worked out very well. Indeed, we could have done with more time for discussion
than we had. A major strength of the meeting was the diversity of different
fields and interests present. A number of participants commented that it would
be valuable to have another meeting of this kind in a couple of years time.
There were 45 participants, 9 invited speakers and 16 posters in
the poster session.
A copy of the titles of the talks, and of the posters is given below.
