The aim of this Meeting is to discuss the recent analysis and results in the field of Strangeness production around threshold, in particular at the SIS-18 synchrotron in GSI (Darmstadt). We intend to stimulate discussion between the theorists and experimentalists on the present status of understanding, and perspectives drawn by the experimental data available for analysis and recent ideas implemented in the models.
_______For whom might be interested, it is possible to extend the date of the Meeting to Sunday morning hours for the sake of physics discussions.
