This is normally a contradiction since Dagstuhl seminars are all about people meeting in a remote location to do research together without distractions.
This seminar was held online nevertheless-and it was quite successful. Keys to this were shot, intensive working periods followed by a social programme that transferred some
of the cherished traditions of Dagstuhl seminars- like the hike or the wine and cheese party-to the online world.
