The most recent version of PLANET CCRMA and AGNULA project, DeMuDi & RehMuDI, will be presented during the BYOL.

The participation to the workshop is free. A limited number of participants will be accepted, due to the non infinite capacity of the hall (50 participants maximum at this moment), and therefore an online registration is required.
