The conference took the form of a 5 day summer school for the first time. It took place in the Wrocław Tech Congress Center from May 30 to June 3 2022. Five invited speakers gave three lectures each. They also suprevised the leading and mentoring sessions for PhD students, who could also choose to show their work in a flash presentation or a poster. Undergraduate students had the opportunity to present their poster during the student symposium. The participants were invited to a welcome dinner on the Main Square and to a trip to Hydropolis.
