There were regular talks during the day, and a Wednesday afternoon session of posters and demonstrations.
The social programme included a canal boat ride with welcome drinks on the Tuesday evening, and a conference dinner on Wednesday (optional, at additional charge, and only if pre-reserved by August 1).
At the closing session on Thursday , The David Hestenes Promising Young Researcher Award was handed out, as well as the Waldyr R. Rodrigues Jr. Best Poster prize, and we announced the venue for the next AGACSE.
