A session consists of a morning and an afternoon slot of two hours each. Per session, there will be 4 invited speakers (30 minute talks), 6 oral presentations (15 minutes each), as selected from the abstracts, and 6 short talks of 5 minutes each, which are also selected from the abstracts.

Typically, a session would look like:

Morning Session

11.00 - 11.30   Invited Speaker Presentation 1
11.30 - 11.45   Oral Presentation 1
11.45 - 12.00   Oral Presentation 2
12.00 - 12.15   Oral Presentation 3
12.15 - 12.30   Oral Presentation 4
12.30 - 13.00   Invited Speaker Presentation 2

Afternoon Session

14.30 - 15.00   Invited Speaker Presentation 3
15.00 - 15.15   Oral Presentation 5
15.15 - 15.45   Short Talk (6)
15.45 - 16.00   Oral Presentation 6
16.00 - 16.30   Invited Speaker Presentation 4

However, few sessions may deviate from this structure due to organizational reasons.
