Welcome to all participants and to our distinguished instructors!
I want to thank Maria Schoenholzer, Marta Dobrijevic, Sandra Kocher, and Stefan Kappeler. They turned the idea of the Summer School into a reality.
The participants are truly international and represent many disciplines. Already on the first day, they offered many fine comments — sophisticated and reflecting many perspectives.
So welcome everyone. Enjoy Zürich and participate in the summer school to your fullest.
