This will form a bridge between the graduate student workshop which will just be ending and the Introductory workshop. After some elementary talks describing some of the main questions in the field, there will be an extended discussion session intended to explain basic concepts to those unfamiliar with the area. There will also be an opportunity for young researchers in the field to present their work, and an evening social event.
