SATURDAY, 9 February 2019

Your lodgings come with a grand breakfast (so much so you can skip lunch, IMHO). Have breakfast and then mosey over to the Nikko Community Hall (it is adjacent to the Hotel Senhime).

The formal meeting starts at 9 am. All talks unless notes are marked by * which means 45=15+10+10+10 I quote from Homework 2 Leads should feel free to expand or contract the manifesto assgined to them. Each lead is responsible for a total of 45 minutes broken as follows: a 15 minute (uninterruped) presentation of the major science goals, 10 minutes of discussion, 10 minutes (uninterrupted) of suggested projects and then 10 minutes of open discussion. The chair of the session will be asked to strictly follow the schedule.
