Inspired by the foundational principle ``By acknowledging the
past, we open a route to the future", the week-long
meeting, envisioned as a forum for exchange between scientists
from all locations and levels of education, drew participants
from 15 countries across 4 continents. In addition to plenary
talks from leading researchers, a special focus on young talent
was provided, a feature underlined by the Springer Prize for the
best student and junior presentations.
