The program consists of invited talks
and poster sessions. In order to apply for a poster, see the Registration
page. Some people with extraordinary abstracts will also be selected for
giving contributed talks. Contributed talks are allocated 15 min (including
discussion), whereas invited talks are allocated 20 min plus 10 min discussion.
The scientific program is also available for download
as pdf file.
