and we may not be able to accommodate all posters; we expect to send

The workshop is designed to provide ample time for discussion and
interaction between the participants, as one of its aims is to
facilitate research collaboration. Thanks to the generous support by
our sponsors, registration is free, and travel support is available.
Students and postdocs who wish to apply for travel support are
strongly encouraged to submit a poster abstract no later than March
15, as funding priority will be given to students and postdocs who
have submitted poster abstracts. We expect to make funding decisions
by March 30.

See you in Waterloo!
