Presentations are given by invited and contributed speakers from in- and outside the network and are organized in separate sessions, each one illustrating a particular aspect of the focus topic(s). The program of oral presentations is complemented by a dedicated poster session, but posters are almost always on display for the whole conference duration.
Discussions after every presentation and at the posters are usually active and lively. The most interesting or controversial aspects and possible new trends or paradigms that emerge throughout the conference are collected and channelled into more in-depth round table discussions that take place all along the meeting.
All non-scientific tasks and technical meetings are placed before and after the scientific sessions, namely on Monday 11 and on Saturday 16.
