The scientific part of the symposium will be composed of 8 plenary sessions of 1 hour and 45 minutes. In addition, there will be two poster sessions and round table discussions. One or two keynote speakers will introduce each session by a 30 or 40 minute talk that will be followed by short oral presentations of 10 or 15 minutes selected from the abstracts.
Every talk is followed by a short discussion.
At the end of each session, there will be additional time for discussion. Depending on the number of abstracts received within a given subject, some topics may be covered by several sessions. Round-table discussions offer the possibility to continue the discussions started during the sessions, or to address additional issues in the form of small workshops. The organizing committee welcomes any suggestion for topics and organization of the round table discussions. The topics of the different abstracts will be grouped into sessions.
