The conference program is quite rich and packed, thus, the official social program of the conference is also compact, consisting of the Opening Reception on June 9th, the Evening Public Lecture followed by a concert, both of which are held at the Casa da Música on June 10th, and the Banquet on June 11th (see the conference schedule for more details).
