Timetable

We will start the meeting on the Monday with 3 overview lectures of (up to) 90 minutes corresponding
to the three main themes of the meeting (Quantum algebras, Poisson algebras and Total Non-Negativity).
The aim of the overview lectures is to introduce each of the 3 topics to the participants.

On Tuesday, we will have 3 talks (up to 1h) on possible tools to link the 3 areas.

Then we will have more specialised talks (up to 1h) for the rest of the week.
