STRUCTURE OF TECHNICAL SESSIONS

Sessions consist of brief invited and contributed presentations that address specific items of concern. Presentations are meant to provoke thought and insight for open discussion to follow, and not exclusively as a forum for providing latest updates and achievements. Each session ends with a discussion with the speakers, guided by a moderator. During open discussion, speakers may clarify their presentations, and are encouraged to contribute to the session topic in general. Poster sessions will be also scheduled to promote direct contact and discussion among the participants.

Each participant is asked to attend the Tuesday roundtable discussion session, choosing one of four topical areas where ideas will be shared. A moderator will keep track of innovative ideas or achievements as they emerge, and will share them with the Session Summaries speakers in preparation for the closing session.
