Scientific programme

The scientific programme consists of keynote oral presentations and posters. You can download the programme & abstract book as PDF file (22 MB).

  • The oral presentations are by invitation only and last about 45 minutes + 15 minutes question time.
  • The programme allows ample time for in-depth discussions during and outside plenary sessions, and offers visibility to all participants through the PICO-like sessions.
  • All participants can contribute to the 4-day long poster session with at most two posters.
  • There are no printing facilities for posters on site.
  • The poster board is W 750 mm × H 1100 mm, which is enough to support a poster with A0 portrait format (841 mm x 1189 mm).
  • All poster presenters prepare (maximum two) slides for a 1-minute oral advertisement.

The list of keynote speakers is the following.
