The conference will feature five symposia, which will comprise invited plenary lectures (30 min) by the leaders in the field, oral (15 min) and poster presentations. Registration and abstract submission is an on-line process. Abstract and registration form should be submitted by May 1, 2018. There is no need to send registration form and/or abstract to the Conference Manager if you have already submitted them on-line.

The abstract in English, body text no longer than 150 words, should be only plain text, no figures, no formulae, no references, no keywords. Please do not forget to add acknowledgement and the end of body text, if your project grant requires it.

The Scientific Committee will evaluate the submitted abstracts and, on the basis of their contents, assign the papers, taking into account author’s wishes as much as possible, to the oral or poster presentation in relevant Symposium. Abstracts will be included in a Book of Abstracts and distributed to each participant at the conference registration. Conference programme and further information about the Conference will be sent to registered participants, who paid the registration fee, by July 1, 2018.
