Scientific Program
There will be three types of presentations at this meeting: Invited, Contributed, and Posters. All talks assume 5 minutes for questions, except for the review talks, where 10 minutes are assummed. Posters can have a maximum size of A0 in portrait orientation. Materials will be provided for mounting posters. Several discussion sessions and panels have been scheduled in the program where debate of the results showcased in the posters will be encouraged. There will be prizes for the three most voted posters, to be announced during the Conference Dinner.
Participants may use their own laptops for talks. All the electronic presentations will be posted on our Website after the conference. We also plan to publish proceedings of the conference, including both oral and poster presentations.
