Programme sessions will be constructed around invited presentations but contributions are also invited.
A call for abstracts on the specific programme themes is closed now.

A feature of Forum 8 is the Marketplace with stalls where individuals and institutions will showcase their work, share results of recent research, display publications, exchange ideas and make or renew contacts.

The programme is set up to allow time for discussion and interaction: breaks and free time over lunch will be focused around the Marketplace to stimulate maximum contact.

Limited space is reserved for business meetings and special interest groups (Thursday evening 18 November).
In addition, a number of satellite meetings can be arranged on the two days before and after Forum 8.

Please contact the Secretariat for further details.
