Notes:

• (I) indicates an invited speaker. (E) indicates that the speaker is one of the seventeen PhD Early Stage Researchers of the GREAT-ITN (http://www.great-itn.eu).
• All invited talks are 22 minutes with 8 minutes for discussion
• The four talks in the two QA sessions are 30 minutes with 15 minutes for questions and answers. This will allow for more participation from the conference attendees in discussion of these topics. We note that the speakers for the two QA sessions were invited by the Early Stage Researchers of the GREAT-ITN
• All other talks (unless explicitly noted in the programme) are 11 minutes with 4 minutes for discussion
