Program


Please note that the program might be subjected to small changes.
Scientific talks
All scientific sessions will be available in an online format on Zoom for registered participants.
2 type of talks are planned: 25 min (+ 10 min questions) and 15 min (+ 10 min questions).
Practical sessions
Practical sessions will be available only for participants present at the IBPC.
We are looking into the possibility of recording these sessions and making them available for participants.
More information is available here.
