Thank you all for participating and contributing to a very enjoyable and inspiring meeting. Special thanks to all our plenary and invited speakers!

We also wish to thank our partners from the industry and from the academia for their generous financial support and to the dedicated teams from Diesenhaus and the Sammy Ofer conference center, whom without their generous support and excellent arrangements, this Conference would not have been possible.
