Participants will be admitted based on their track record and publication record in the field or based on their motivation to attend for junior scientists. Everyone is expected to be an active scientist within the broad theme of the field. We do encourage participation of those that have a peripheral research line as this will complement the meeting.

We seek to have around 50 precent representation from students and post-doctoral researchers as well as good representation of the international community while maintaining gender and geographic balance.
