but will be printed locally and handed out to all participants.

The organizers will provide a basic setup (poster boards, tables) as

well as Internet connections but no computers or projectors although

screens will be available to help with demos run from laptops.

Abstracts should be sent by May 19th to Cornelia (Conny) Hedeler
