GENERAL ORAL SESSIONS
Morning, afternoon and evening sessions (Monday 7th to
Thursday 10th)
A number of abstracts have been selected for presentation in nine General Oral
Sessions (GO) which will take place in parallel to Symposia and Workshops.
Due to the large number of applications for oral presentation received these
presentations will have 15-min long format.
The Organizing Committee decided to allocate some oral presentations to
particular sessions, always in agreement with the organizers and presenters,
and when the thematic affinities permitted it.
General Oral Sessions will take place in:
