Presentations

The programme includes oral presentations and poster sessions.

Oral presentations
(15 Minutes) are previewed for large topics with good standing results.

Poster presentations
Poster presentations are intended for small topics or one-year experiments.
If a poster refers to the main topics, it may be invited by organizers as an oral spotlight presentation (5 minutes, maximum 6 sheets), after each main topic, in the section to permit the inclusion of its information in the general discussion. In this case, the authors are not obliged to present the poster in the poster session.
All other posters are presented during the poster session. The poster session will be online. Participants who want to present a poster will receive detailed informations about the online tool for poster presentation.

For registration please give a title and a short abstract (see registration).

If the time table does not allow the admission of  all contributions intended as oral presentations as such the organizers will decide which contributions should be presented as poster and/or oral presentation.

These contributions are submitted only to an abbreviated review.
The maximum length of these contributions should not exceed 4 pages.
