2 GENERAL INFORMATION The event will start on Sunday November 17, 2013 with a welcome reception and will end on Friday November 22 with an optional facility tour. The symposium will consist of plenary sessions with invited and selected presentations. We are calling for scientific contributions to be selected for oral presentations in the plenary sessions.
