18° IWGP2019 - 3rd Circular

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are very pleased to inform that more than two-hundred abstracts have been submitted to the 18th IWGP conference.

Thanks to the outstanding work of the scientific committee, who evaluated the abstracts and organized the sessions in a very short time, we are now ready to submit to your attention a preliminary program (/ocs/index.php/iwgp2019/index/pages/view/program).

This year conference will not have overlapping sessions and instead will have three workshops and five lab sessions; due to time constrains, fewer abstracts than those submitted could be accepted as oral presentations.

 

Talks and poster guideline

Each talk will be of 15 minutes (10 plus 5 for question). Please ensure that you keep to this time limit.

Poster must fit into the canvas, and have a max size 100x120 cm (39,37x47,24’’). Poster will be exhibit for the entire length of the conference, from the afternoon of the 3rd June until the 8th of June  (in the ground floor of Edificio 5).

All the authors presenting a poster are requested to stand next to their poster during the POSTER SESSION, which will be held June 5th, from 4:45 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.

 

Abstracts

The oral talks and posters abstracts will be published online, through the ESE Unisalento system, by the end of April (http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/#proceed_jump ).
