Dear Member,
Message from the President
At closure
of the abstract submission 1117 abstracts have been submitted for review.
The abstracts will be reviewed by experts in each domain according to our
new redesigned structure. I am convinced that these experts will do their
utmost towards the creation of an interesting programme for the 22nd
Annual Meeting in Lisbon.
And let us not forget that outside there are flowers and birds!
