In the application form, only invited lecturers give an oral presentation, all other attendees are encouraged to contribute to the poster session. A limited number of contributions will be selected to give a contributed talk.
After confirmation of their selection, all applicants have to complete the registration process (phase 2). Information such as accompanying person(s), accommodation in Cargese, personal diet, travel information (from and to the Ajaccio airport) will then be registered.
