Instructions
The call for abstracts was very successful and around 170 proposals were submitted. We wish to thank again all authors who submitted an abstract, and we hope to meet all authors at the conference.
The review process took longer than expected due to the high number of abstracts. All abstracts have now been evaluated. All authors have received a notification on the evaluation results.
Registration of authors
The registration has been closed. Those participants who have specific responsibilities in the conference but have not registered yet should do so by directly contacting IPTS: JRC-IPTS-FORERA@ec.europa.eu
