The workshop consisted mostly of working sessions in which participants collaborated on research problems, and a limited number of talks and lectures. By building an environment of mostly young researchers, we hoped the participants felt free to contribute their ideas openly, thus preparing them to undertake their own research projects.
 
All participants had the chance to contribute a subset of the following items to the workshop:
  • A research problem with suggested reading
  • A lecture on a useful method
  • A short talk about their own research
