The abstract book and updated conference programme with an overview of parallel paper sessions can be found here.
Paper presentations are 20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion. The time frame for a symposium is 90 minutes, and the organisers are responsible for the arrangement, i.e., length and order of the individual presentations in the symposium.
Note that only some of the lecture rooms, in which paper sessions take place, are equipped with a desktop computer. However, you can use your own laptop and connect it to a larger screen in each room. When using Apple products, you need an adapter to connect to the HDMI-cable. We recommend that you bring your own cable, if possible.
Please also note that it is not possible to print the participants' own notes on-site during the conference, i.e., if you wish to have notes or other documents printed, we recommend that you print them in advance.
There will be conference assistants helping you out during the conference days – do not hesitate to ask them in case of any questions!
A limited number of rooms have been reserved for the conference participants. These can be booked in connection with the registration for the conference. Please note that registration for the conference closes September 15, 2023.
