Program
This year's program will comprise 7 half-day sessions. The following program is still under construction and might be revisited once all the abstracts have been received.

Posters

Posters will be shown in a separate room throughout the whole meeting. We recommend poster sizes not to exceed A0 (i.e. 841mm x 1189 mm or 33.1in x 46.8in, either Landscape or Portrait).
