  12. Masterclass(es) and Workshops

    The congress language will be English. As a gesture to our German-speaking Swiss and German guests, however, all the keynote lectures shall be simultaneously translated into German.

    Furthermore a few symposia are to be held either in German, French or Italian. Please submit your abstracts and choose the topic according to the preferred language: Other symposia (Deutsch) / Other symposia (Français) / Other symposia (Italiano). All accepted abstracts will be published as submitted. You will be informed of your session and presentation in the acceptance letter.

    Should a symposium be rejected, all related abstracts will still be considered for the final programme.
