The program will consist of a mixture of many shorter and a few longer talks, open discussion and possibly individual work on certain topics in small groups.
Lightning Talks (on Friday) are intended to convey your present interests, plans and ideas in a rudimentary manner to the rest of the participants. Ideally, every participant contributes here, which leaves about 10 to maximal 15 minutes (not more!) to make yourself, your background and your research interests known to the others. This should be less a breakdown of already published results, but rather a concise, fast-paced presentation of your topic which should excite interest and be the basis for later discussion. If you use slides, please provide these in advance such that change of speakers happens almost seamlessly!
Talks (on Saturday) are longer, in-depth presentations of your work. Time is scarce, so there is only room for 4 or 5 such talks of about 45 to 60 minutes.
Self-organized discussions in individual groups will be organized more or less spontaneously depending on your interests, but in designated rooms and time slots. This is the place to explore ideas in more detail, explore possible cooperations and project your ideas collaboratively into the future.
For all of those, organize yourself at the following collaborative document: HC2026 Organization
