Programme
Download a PDF copy of the talk schedule here.
Invited review talks are 30 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. Contributed talks are 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. Given how packed the schedule is, we would ask that speakers stick strictly to time. Session Chairs will, of course, give appropriate warnings when speakers are approaching their time limits.
Download the list of poster presentations here.
Posters will be allocated a numbered board based on the session in which they've been included. Posters up to A0 size in portrait (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) can be accomodated.
You can also download a PDF copy of the conference booklet. Printed copies will also be available at registration.
The Talk list is below with, where available, links to PDF copies of the presentations. You can also find a list of the posters at the bottom of this page. This also includes, where available, a link to a PDF copy of the poster.
