Presentation and discussion
The conference is a Working Seminar intending to provide ample opportunities for interaction between Authors, Discussants and Audience. Each paper will be given 45 minutes, including 30 minutes of presentation and 15 minutes of discussion. A discussant will be appointed for each paper. The intention is that studies presented, and the discussion of them, will result in concrete ideas for future research and developments. Conference participants are expected to act as discussants within their field of expertise. Participants are therefore recommended to join the sessions of the conference for at least three of the four days. The conference language is English.
The submitted papers will not be published with copy-righted proceedings, so that the latter improved version can be submitted to journals. However, papers will be distributed to all participants, but are only used for the conference.
