The Symposium schedule has been carefully planned in four successive sessions extended over three days, which allows each participant to fully interact with other attendees. In each session, it will be the invited lecturer that spends the first one hour to introduce the main topic of the session followed by a number of closely related oral presentations (15 min each). After the coffee break, a discussion session not exceeding one hour will be held, that allows attendees to exchange opinions and discuss with the presenters.

The Tuesday luncheon is organized on site and will favour exchanges between attendees.

The poster session will be held close to the meeting room where attendees will have their best opportunity to contribute to debates and key issues by presenting their own research results.
