The OKC day took place on November 12-13, 2015 in the very nice location,check it out: skavsjoholm.se. The program is focused on scientific discussions.
The registration to the OKC-day is closed on Friday 9/10.
THEME: Experiments and theory: how we do it and why we do it
This is a tentative program, we will allow adjustments in the coming weeks depending on the work of the conveners and needs of speakers.
