The program of PULS/RKCM-2018 will include seven thematic sessions. Each session will begin with a 'perspective lecture' which is planned to include an introduction to the field, a selection of important recent results, and a wider view of the future challenges. The 'perspective lecture' will be followed by a small number of invited talks, thus leaving enough room for oral contributions to be preferentially assigned to younger researchers. We will also provide chairman's time at the end of each session. The poster session will also be organized.
