Session formats
Symposia
Symposia provide an opportunity to examine one topic in depth preferably from different perspectives. Symposium sessions are directed by a chairperson, involving tree or four presenters and one or two discussants, from at least two different countries.
Paper sessions
Paper sessions are oral presentations of four papers, followed by a discussion with the audience.
Poster sessions
Poster sessions consist of 8–10 presentations, providing the opportunity of a very short oral presentation of each poster. After the authors’ brief presentations, an in-depth discussion follows between them and the audience.
