usual, most people submit the last couple of days. So far, we have 23
abstracts, whereof 5 are for demo presentations. With all likelihood, we will
postpone the deadline by a week. When announcing this on Monday, we will also
take the opportunity to inform people of some new features. Firstly, we have
arranged so that every accepted abstract will receive a DOI identification
number through Frontiers Journal series. Secondly, there are now travel grants
available for students from the EU. This is made possible by the INCF EU SSA
grant. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

completed 10 days after abstract submission deadline. Given that we most likely
postpone the deadline one week, this would mean review completion by May 19<sup>th</sup>.
Then we will need the following few days to finalize things. For instance, the
5 minute oral presentations selections needs to be agreed upon between the two
leaders of each workshop and possible additional suggestions by the demo
leaders must be considered. By the end of that week we want to send out letters
of acceptance (or rejection) to the submitters to allow them to still register
for the cheaper early fee (deadline June 2<sup>nd</sup>). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
