The workshops

On Friday morning (10:00-12:00 hours) we will organise several workshops. All visitors to the Graduate Spring School can attend the workshops. Each workshop can accommodate up to 25 people. PhDs will be admitted first, on the remaining spots there will be room for attending (associate/senior) Fellows. Anyone can therefore register. We will let you know in early April who has been placed in which workshop.

The ICO GSS 2026 social gathering

A conference is not just another day at the office: it is the opportunity to meet with old and new friends or colleagues. It is also an opportunity to talk to that professor whose work you have always admired, or to that PhD-candidate that just gave an interesting presentation on your research topic.

To give you the opportunity to meet each other we invite all ICO members to join us at the social gathering on Thursday evening after the last presentation sessions have ended. Join us and enjoy some drinks, bites, and good conversations.
