Besides the interesting talks and events of the conference, and besides meeting old colleagues and many other exceptional researchers, we got back from Brussels with a nice gift: the award for the best paper presented at the conference! The competition was fierce, and a dedicated committee made a difficult choice among the many relevant papers available. So we are more then proud that the final choice fell on our paper.

The price is a wonderful sculpture by the Italian artist Matteo Pugliese, an bronze ant that has left her nest and followed a trail from Brussels to Rome!
