Topical symposia

Topical Symposia focus on specific themes and include both invited and volunteered presentations. They consist of oral and poster presentations. The list does not include the Topical Symposia, announced in the Second Circular, which have been canceled. The abstracts of both confirmed and canceled Topical Symposia will be included in the Congress Abstracts Book. Session titles appear accompanied by the names of the conveners and of the chairpersons. Conveners, chairpersons and scientific sponsors are listed in alphabetical order.
