Program (draft)

Poster session

Because of the limited time for the meeting, sometimes the poster presentation is quite useful for you to share and discuss your activities deeply with the other collaborators. It is a nice opportunity especially for young researchers to appeal yourself. As usual, we will organize poster award for two students!!
