The Scientific Programme was built up following types of Sessions:
PRE – CONFERENCE EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
Three pre-conference education sessions tackle issues of research methodology and development of research logistics and networks, clarifying the question: How to perform cutting-edge research?
MEET THE EXPERTS AND TUTORIAL SESSIONS
Up to 8 parallel sessions of 45 minutes for each morning with 2 experts per session an opportunity to meet and to discuss specific research issues. The emphasis lies on expert – participant interaction with limited visual presentations.
PLENARY SESSIONS
3 sessions in plenary of 60 minutes.
PARALLEL SESSIONS (IN CONTEMPORANEOUS IN 4 HALLS)
Ten Themed Research Sessions
2 Co-chairs moderated the presentations of 3 to 4 invited speakers.
Sixteen New Research Data Sessions (Free communications):
2 Co-chairs moderated and discussed the presentations of 6 to 8 selected abstracts. Each abstract was allocated 8 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion.
2 Satellite Workshops
Company sponsored workshops placed in parallel in the programme without competing with sessions of the same subjects of the Scientific programme.
POSTERS
Poster viewing sessions (in exclusive time slots)
The majority of the participants were involved in the presentation of a poster. The required time slot to be present at the poster was split and limited to 30 minutes, to permit poster presenters to also view the other posters.
Poster guided tours during the poster viewing sessions
As a further tutorial opportunity, faculty offered visits together with a group of participants some faculty-selected posters of an abstract category.
Two Poster Discussion Sessions (as parallel sessions)
All posters were reviewed by the coordinators of the poster discussion sessions, who had selected posters and commented and discussed them in the dedicated sessions.
