According to the decision taken in 2004 at our business meeting, one prize will be awarded this year for the best poster, and another two for oral presentations. As you may see in the program, a 5 min poster presentation (including discussion) will be given for the full audience (Power point). The actual posters mounted next to the lunch tables can be visited during the 70 min. lunch break. The 15 min. oral presentations ( including discussion) are scheduled for the afternoon, as in previous years. In the registration form you may indicate which format you prefer, poster or oral presentation. Due to organizational constraints, your presentation may be scheduled for a different format, but your wishes will be followed whenever possible.
