Das Programm war wirklich sehr anregend. In meinen beiden Sessions habe ich interessante Papers genossen und sogar wirklich gute Diskussionen, obwohl die Beiträge z.T. natürlich sehr sehr unterschiedlich waren. Ich bin sicher, dass die Conference in jeder Hinsicht ein großer Erfolg ist – Glückwunsch zur ausgesprochen professionellen Durchführung!"
