The complete GAP.12 programme, including the sections programme with individual contributed papers, is now available via ConfTool. You must be logged into ConfTool to view the programme.

Our dedicated GAP.12 Conference App for mobile devices will be released at latest one to two weeks before the conference. This app will provide the most convenient way to navigate the conference.
