Comments:
Despite an easing of restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was uncertain whether an in-person conference would be possible so a decision was taken to again hold the conference on-line. It was a ZOOM meeting run from Miskolc (although for part of the meeting it was being organised by Péter Kőrtesi from Brussels). Before the last lecture there was a "virtual" group photo.
