We are looking for different sectors to be represented at the workshop, which may mean that not everyone who would like to attend will be able to, as space is limited at the venue.
If you wanted to attend the workshop but haven’t been able to secure a space, you are welcome to email us to request to be included on the LNRS mailing list.
