Program
The following items have been important for us in our planning and have therefore led to the present schedule:
- clear and well-arranged structure
- joint and sufficient breaks
- sufficient time for individual being together
Pre-Conference
- two-day encounter group, facilitated by an international staff
- daily lecture on the Conference theme – also for non-specialized audience
- spending time together on Saturday night
- possibility for optional sightseeing on Sunday morning (4 guided city walks and a city tour by bus)
- merging Pre-Conference and Conference on Sunday afternoon with the ceremonial address and the opening keynote
Conference
- four keynote lectures and six semi plenaries (only two lectures at the same time)
- possibility of a continuous and moderated reflection group on the main lectures (keynotes, semi plenaries)
- continuation of the encounter group of the Pre-Conference with 1.5 hours daily
- sufficient opportunity for parallel sessions
- one late night session on Monday evening
- a moderated discussion on the Conference with all participants on the last day
- adequate time for the WAPCEPC General Assembly
- daily lunch break without any stress
- temporal and spatial opportunities for individual encounters: Welcome Get-Together on Sunday evening and gala dinner at the Vienna city hall on Tuesday evening (both events included in the Conference fee!)
- optional trip to a Viennese „Heurigen“ (typical wine tavern) to round off the Conference
