Please take a few minutes to read the following guidelines regarding the on-site organization of the congress for the smooth running of the sessions.

Duration

Each oral presentation should last 12 or 15 minutes, including 2–4 minutes for Discussion/Q&A, depending on the number of contributions in the session. The exact duration will be announced together with the publication of the Scientific Program.
