CONFIRMED SESSIONS AND PAPERS

As announced, the Academic Committee has assembled all individual papers into sessions. Complete sessions remain as they were proposed. Those sessions containing more than 4 papers will be reexamined at a further notice to take into account absentee presenters. We will publish the time slots assigned to sessions very soon. Please note that they will be held exclusively from Tuesday Afternoon (the first series of sessions starting at 2:30 pm) to Friday Morning (the last series ending at 1 pm).

Please remember that presentations will be held in English. Also, all presentations are scheduled in 90-minute sessions. To facilitate discussion during the sessions, organizers may wish to encourage the exchange of papers among participants before the conference.

The Organizing Committee will connect the individual participants that have been regrouped so they can organize their session very soon. We will do so by sending the information individually: your Email address will not be published on our website.
