We would like to make linguistic diversity visible throughout the conference. Therefore, presentations will be given in English and in one additional language (German, Romance languages, Slavic languages, or other languages in accordance with the organizing committee). The oral presentation will be in a different language than the presentation slides (one of both being English).
