The sessions of presentations start in the morning of Monday with the opening session that includes the opening, plenary and invited lectures in the Auditorium (I4). The next sessions will take place in parallel sessions in three Rooms (I11, I12 and I13). In the last day there would be a "clossing session" in the Auditorium (I4) again. The "poster sessions" will be three according to the three main scientific topics of the congress with matching subjects. The number of the poster’s title of each poster corresponds to a number of table will be given at the Room of their exhibition (I6).  The coffee will be served in the Foyer of the Centre (I5) and the lunch at the first floor (II-3).
