InteractiveOral - Poster Sessions
Special emphasis will be placed on the interactive poster presentations which will also include a short oral presentation. In effect, there will be short oral presentations with posters.
Posters will be grouped by topic and will follow a plenary session given by a well-regarded guest speaker. A short oral presentation, in parallel sessions, will be given by each poster presenter and then a general discussion will follow. Hence, this combination will incorporate the advantages of both, the oral and poster presentations.
