NETTAB 2016 Call for Abstracts and CHARME support information

Dear all,

the deadline for the submission of abstracts for oral communications has
been extended until next July 15, 2016.

NB! If you plan to apply for CHARME support (travel and daily budget), you
must submit your abstract within the above deadline even if it is a poster
abstract.

I’m looking forward to meeting you in Rome in October.

All the best. Paolo Romano
