The 50 conference panels have been grouped into 8 streams, labeled A-H.
With the help of many student volunteers, mainly from the LDE minor African Dynamics, panel reports have been made, under the final responsibility of panel convenors.
These reports contain summaries of all paper presentations and discussions. Sometimes quotes have been added to highlight the most important findings.
