Dear IROWG,

please have a look at the (almost final) conference program at
https://opacirowg2026.uni-graz.at/en/programme/
or directly at
https://static.uni-graz.at/fileadmin/_files/_event_sites/_opacirowg2026/OPAC-IROWG2026_preliminary_program_v5.pdf

We have been able to allocate a talk for everyone, who wanted a talk - and a poster,
for everyone who wanted a poster (poster boards are 140 cm high and 90 cm wide).
I hope that you don't mind if you should find your contribution as an "invited" one.

By default, the hotel registration is open until 21:00 (9 pm).
If you arrive later - please inform the hotel (and also us).

In the extremely unlikely case that you have not registered yet - or signed on for the
social events - please do so. There is no on-site registration.

On Saturday afternoon we will make a small hiking tour in the surrounding vineyards (picture attached),
where we will also learn how the wine is grown (before we taste it at the conference dinner and on Monday).
You don't need high-mountain equipment, but some appropriate shoes and rain protection.
This site is in German only, but the pictures at the bottom of the page should give you an idea what to expect:

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Austria - next week!

Uli Foelsche, on behalf of the organizing committee.
