The workshop will take place in Seminarraum 121, Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, Westflügel (ESAW). The tentative schedule is as follows:

Friday
14.30-16.00: Moritz Schulz: Is there a problem of embeddings for the restrictor view?

Attendance is free, but please let us know if you plan to do so, since we need to keep an eye on numbers. Please email both Richard Woodward and Mirja Holst.

There will be a (partially) subsidized dinner on the Saturday evening. If you would like to come, it would be helpful if you could again let us know in advance since we will need to make a reservation.
