Symposia Details

There are 45 symposia timetabled.

The full list is:
P = Pioneering, shorter talks, no exchange between talks, open for submissions;
R = Review, program pre-arranged, no exchange between talks;
T = Traditional, open for submissions. Exchange between talks possible except for symposia in Sessions 1 & 2.

The details of all symposia is available to view below. The information is listed per session. Please select a session, then click on the title which will take you through to the detailed information.

Note that the timetabling of concurrent symposia sessions is provisional and is likely to be changed as a more optimal solution to prevent clashes of similar talks and topics emerges from the final program of talks.
