Talks will be held in the seminar room of ICRAR Curtin (Brodie-Hall Building). A general purpose machine can be made available for presentations but we strongly sugggest speakers bring their own laptop and vga/hdmi doogles. All talks are 12 minutes long, plus 3 minutes for questions. A registration desk will be setup just outside the seminar room.
The program (Day 1, Day 2) is listed below and abstracts are available here.
