Our 2021 symposium will was held online via Zoom on February 9, 2021, from 3 – 6.15pm (CET). If you like to tweet about the symposium, please use #graph2021
In the last several months we have all experienced a lot of conferences, workshops and other events that were held virtually. While it will still be quite some time before we can meet in person again, we understand that virtual events also have their challenges. In order to lessen the experience of screen fatigue, we have designed the symposium as a partly asynchronous event. Papers and presentations will be made available in advance for participants to read or view on their own time, and then we will come together for the synchronous part, where we will use the time for discussion and exchanging thoughts.
We are excited to announce three invited talks and hope you will join the speakers, and us, for the symposium!
Program
Please read and watch the papers and presentations in advance (see below). The symposium will not feature the full live talks. Each session will start with a short statement by the speakers summarising their contribution. This will be followed by a longer discussion with the audience.
