Programme

The programme comprises 45- or 30-minute plenary invited lectures, 20- or 30-minute short talks grouped into two parallel sessions,  "A"  and  "B",  and  posters.  

Participants planning to use a  computer presentation  (PowerPoint, pdf etc.), are kindly asked to have it ready on a CD or a flash memory stick and give it to the organizers during registration on Sunday, June 4.  We would like to avoid wasting precious time for reconnecting laptops, projectors, and solving technical problems etc. during the sessions.  All presentations will be copied on a single computer in the lecture room and launched from there.

PowerPoint presentations exhibit occasional problems with font incompatibility, it is thus recommended that TrueType fonts be included in ppt files.
