Programme overview

Each day of the conference will start with two morning plenary talks. There will then be 8-9 parallel symposium sessions, one in the morning and two in the afternoon (except on Wednesday and Friday). Symposium sessions will start with one invited talk of 30 minutes, followed by three or four contributed talks of 20 minutes.

In addition, on Monday and Tuesday, wine-and-cheese evening poster sessions will be organized around the parallel symposia.

All plenary, parallel and poster sessions will take place in the Palais des Congrès. 

The conference dinner will take place on Thursday evening at the  Château de Marsannay winery.
