All talks have 20 minutes (very sharp) of length plus 10 minutes of discussion. Every poster presenter has the chance to prepare one single slide and can present the poster on Monday afternoon, just before we have the general poster viewing session with an optional wine tasting.
The programme and abstracts as a PDF booklet can be downloaded HERE .
