There will be no oral parallel sessions for this Conference, in order to give particular emphasis to poster communications.

In this aim, in addition to the traditional poster exhibit, a computer "streaming presentation" will be shown in a special room:

 

*

Throughout the Congress, the Poster Jury as well as the attendees will have access, at any time, to the stream presentation of any posters on the program: this consists of a computer display of up to 5 power point slides prepared by the author(s) to complete a poster with pertinent details or instructive commentaries.


Twelve Posters will be selected by the Jury, to be given in an oral presentation (5 min.+ 5 min. discussion) during a Plenary Session scheduled for Tuesday, August 31, (7:00-9:20 a.m).

 

*

The authors are therefore encouraged
to prepare power point slides (up to 5)
to accompany each of their posters


In case of selection of their abstract, they will be asked to send the corresponding slides to the organizers, to be included in the stream presentation.

Copies of the power point slides should also be kept by the presenting author, to be used in case of selection of the poster for oral presentation.
