You have been 142 attendees, coming from 22 countries and representing 61 institutions, companies or research laboratories. I saw some familiar faces but also some new ones. For most of you it has been your first visit to Liège. I am very pleased you have all been able to join us.

I hope that the conference has been for you an enriching experience in terms of scientific content, ideation and cultural exchange. I further hope that you had an excellent time during this week ,that you enjoyed a stimulating environment and that you have gone back home feeling satisfied of having learned something new.
