The DIALOGUE Workshop is traditionally held at a pleasant and comfortable
site near Moscow, during 6 days at the very end of May and beginning of
June.
The six previous annual DIALOGUE workshops were very successful,

presentations, posters, demonstrations, panel sessions, round tables  and
time for
