WP presentations - tutorial and research contributions
The tutorial is an introductory review talk that gives a global overview of the concerned work package. It should be understandable for people not inside the field. The tutorial is followed by state-of-the-art presentations about the actual work and research done in the work package. These sort of presentations can go into detail. Especially PhDs and Postdocs financed by CHARM are requested to present their work.
Please put your title/abstract/sort of presentation into this document. We will edit the program according to it.
