Final programme

Please note: all invited review talks will be allocated 30 min plus 10 min for the discussion; contributed talks will be given 15 min plus 5 min for the discussion. Since the schedule is very tight, speakers should comply with the allocated times.

Abstracts for all oral and poster papers can be found in the Abstract Booklet (a printed copy of the booklet is contained in the conference bag that participants will receive at the Symposium).
