The SNF Conference funding allowed us to invite distinguished experts (6 women and 7 men) not only from Switzerland but also from other parts of the world. They gave talks in the plenary sessions and the key note lectures for the special seminars. The participants of the conference highly esteemed the superior selection of invited speakers as they represent the top class in their field.
