Conference Topics
The conference is organized as a series of parallel thematic sessions, with a list of topics given below.
Each delegate can present 1 contribution and 20 minutes, including questions, will be given for oral presentations.
Proposal of new sessions is welcomed. Researchers/professionals can submit the proposal of new thematic sessions, which has to be sent by email to the conference chairs and will be evaluated by the organizing committee.
