The full program of 2026 edition of the Conference will be published in mid-September.
The full program of previous edition, 2025, including posters, is available here
- The conference takes place from Monday morning 9:00 to Wednesday at 13:00
- A reception (drinks + pickles) is organized on Sunday evening (18:00 – 20:00) in the lobby of the hotel. The registration desk is open and posters can be already displayed in the poster area.
- The traditional conference dinner takes place on Monday at 19:30 (included in registration fees, as well as lunches on Monday and Tuesday).
- During the conference, there are no parallel sessions. The objective is to keep all participants together and allow them sharing their experience. Each oral session starts with a keynote of an invited speaker, followed by two or three regular talks.
- There will be 5 sessions of oral snapshot oral presentations of posters (2 min. for each poster).
- Three poster prizes are awarded at the end of the conference.
