Scientific Programme (Preliminary)

All posters with recommended dimensions: width up to 120 cm and height up to 110 cm will be displayed throughout the workshop on panels (180 cm by 120 cm).
For oral presentations, an LCD projector will be available. The presentation (PowerPoint recommended) will be transferred to the workshop computer (Microsoft Windows) using a CD or USB device prior to the session. You can also bring your own laptop. Connection of the laptop to the projector will be done prior to the session.
