We are pleased to announce that registration to the conference is now open and the basic conference programme is available on our website: As of now, it includes seven keynote speeches and more than 20 panel discussions in addition to chosen scientific and artistic sessions. In the course of the coming weeks we will be completing the programme by around 250 further workshops and scientific sessions, so it is worth checking from time to time.
Due to the great interest in the conference and the necessary limitation of participants we recommend to register as early as possible. However, many speeches and discussions will be video-streamed and published on our website for whoever will not be able to come to Leipzig.
In order to also enable people with little income to participate, the conference fee can be freely chosen based on our recommendations. We also offer cheap accommodation options such as camping and staying at private places. There will be vegan and regional food provided by a local cooperative.
