Thematic groups and symposiums

Thematic groups

In thematic groups participants present and discuss ongoing or finished research in 90 minute sessions. Generally one session includes three presentations. Abstracts submitted to the thematic groups will be reviewed by thematic group leaders.

There are only a couple of thematic group descriptions in English (links below), but you may submit your abstract in English in any group.

Symposiums

Symposia are generally 90 minutes long including 3-4 invited presentations. Those proposing the symposia are also responsible for planning and arranging the symposia.

Posters

In poster exhibition participants have a possibility to present and discuss ongoing or finished research with the same scientific criteria as in paper sessions. Posters can be presented either by one person or a research group.
