Talks presented during the symposium

We offer the possibility to present your talk as PDF here on this webpage. I have asked all the 64 contributors via email to do so. 34 of them have - so far- agreed (see below - PDF). 12 contributors have not agreed with such a "publication" (all with good reasons), 19 have not answered. If you are still interested, please send your agreement to schudack@zedat.fu-berlin.de
