Preference will be given to participants currently working in the field of RNPs, however, participants from outside the field with an interest in learning about the field will also be considered if space allows. The speakers for the available short talk and flash talk slots will be chosen based on the relevance of their work to the topic of the workshop, the submitted abstract, gender balance and geographical distribution.
