We kindly ask you to provide us with the electronic version of your oral presentation as soon as possible at least one day before your talk.
We have poster sessions on all three days. Each poster will be displayed during the whole meeting but the poster presenters are asked to be at their posters on the following days:

Poster 01 - 20 Monday 16:15 - 17:30
Poster 21 - 33 Tuesday 16:15 - 17:30
Poster 34 - 54 Wednesday 16:15 - 17:30

There will be a poster prize committee going around - so be prepared to give a short oral summary of your poster. The Prize committees select one outstanding presentation each day and award the prize at the end of the session. The value of the award will be 100 EUR.

Best Poster Prize
