Conference sessions will be held daily, and leading international experts will report on the latest results in research, development and applications. Several focused sessions will highlight selected hot topics, accompanied by plenary talks to review achievements. About 90 contributing oral presentations will be given over 4 days of meetings. In addition, the conference will hold two poster sessions where attendees can discuss results in detail with presenting authors.

Young Scholar Award

The conference promotes young scientists from around the world (bachelor-, master- and PhD-students) by holding a competition for the best contributions selected by an award committee. Up to four students will be chosen and will give a plenary lecture during the award lecture series. Awards will be presented at the conference banquet. Click here for more information
