Programme
Notes (26-May-2008):
- Parallel session presentations have been selected by the respective convenors. See the parallel sessions programme here.
- Contributions submitted to be presented as posters have been directly accepted as such. Those originally intended as oral presentations, but which the session convenors have judged they should rather be given as posters, have been accordingly transferred. The complete list of posters can be found here.
- You may download the last version of the Symposium Booklet here.
- Wednesday 18 evening, there will be a public lecture, delivered by Professor Clifford M. Will.
