The workshop designed around the theme of the meeting led by David Rousseau and Javier Calvo-Amodio: Systems Science: Identifying Research Themes, Teams and Priorities, will run four sessions, Monday through Thursday, between 1:30 and 5:45 p.m. each day.

There is also a Friday afternnon/Saturday morning field trip this year, led by incoming president Peter Tuddenham.
