After the first workshop this year, the 2nd workshop will be an open and international workshop. Please save your spot early :-) We will have around 15 spots again. Let us know during the next days in case you need an official invitation for visa formalities. Marco Garten (m.garten@hzdr.de) is sending those out soon.
