POSTER SESSION VII

Poster session represents the core moment of the Conference. This will be the moment to meet and further discuss on specific issues of interest. For this reason also oral presentations will have a poster slot, so that participants can meet speakers and continue the discussion during Session VII. Posters will be joined in dedicated space based on the main arguments and sessions of the Conference, so that meetings and spontaneous group discussion can be favoured between colleagues with common backgrounds or scientific interests.

INSTRUCTION FOR AUTHORS
