Important for poster presenters:
The posters of each symposia will be grouped by sessions and a code will identify each poster presentation from now onward (e.g.: C1.P3. means the 3rd poster in session C1). Please do not forget this code appearing in the Preliminary Program since it will help you to find your board in the poster session room.
We kindly ask the poster presenters of other symposia to check the Preliminary Program on the website for their code.

Dimensions of posters:
The dimensions of the poster stands are 1 m (width) x 2 m (height), the suggested poster size is A0 (portrait format), 840 mm (width) x 1188 mm (height). Posters can be fixed with pins available at the poster area.

The paper will be selected for the award only if your intention for application has been clearly indicated in the Abstract Submission Form.

Authors actually presenting the papers must register for the Conference no later than 1 July, 2001 (the deadline for early registration), otherwise their papers will automatically be cancelled and will be excluded from the Final Program and all Conference publications.
