The workshop will be held in the afternoon between 13.00 and 16.30 on Wednesday 1 June at the conference hotel and main venue, the Clarion Royal Christiania Hotel, located in Oslo city centre. After the workshop, the conference proper will start at 17.00 with the opening plenary in the Old Ceremonial Theatre of the University of Oslo (also in the city centre).
