The program runs from Tuesday to Saturday

These dates should allow international visitors to book flights allowing them to be absent from their home institution for only one week, if they choose

Presenters are reminded that they must register.

Poster presentations: please note that posters must be NO LARGER than A0 size (46.81'' hig by 33.11'' wide)
