We are delighted to announce that we received 55 abstracts for the symposium! All the submitted abstracts have been accepted by the organizing committee and will be programmed into the 3-day schedule according to thematic content. We will take into account the time zones of participants so that, for example, presenters from North America are scheduled later in the day to allow real-time participation in the symposium.

The symposium features three presentation types:

1. Plenary oral presentation (45 mins + 15 mins questions)
2. Regular oral presentation (15 mins + 5 mins questions)
3. Poster + multimedia presentation (more information below)

Please see below to find the type of presentation you have been allocated and prepare your presentation according to the guidelines given.
