Invited speakers

As for every conference, the invited speakers provide the scientific scaffold and will help animating the discussion. The informal environment and the characteristics of the venue will help mixing up the audience, offering to everyone the opportunity to interact. Specific facilitation activities will be organised, to support the engagement of early career researchers and students.
