The meeting is split in a 3-days workshop from Monday July 10 until 
Wednesday July 12, and a 2-days follow up meeting on Thursday July 13 
and Friday July 14 in which a few experts will present their work to 
young researchers. We are very happy that the following people already 
have agreed to present a talk in the 3-days workshop on July 10-12:

Lutz Dümbgen, Pablo Ferrari, and Piet Groeneboom have agreed to present 
lectures in the follow up meeting. During the 3-days workshop there will 
be 4 to 6 talks per day, so that ample time is available for informal 
discussions. During the 2-day follow up meeting there will be 2 talks 
before and after lunch, so that even more time is available for informal 
discussions and working together. Each participant will be assigned a 
desk and a computer account at one of the 20 offices available for the 
full 5 days. All offices are equipped with a whiteboard, desks and a PC, 
which runs linux as well as windows and which has access to the 
internet. In addition, each room has a hookup for connecting a laptop to 
the internet.
