PARTICIPATION: Scientists from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the Workshop. As the activity will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of participants should be borne by the home institution. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are available for some participants who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, to be selected by the Organizers. There is no registration fee to attend this activity.
DEADLINE FOR REQUESTING PARTICIPATION: EXPIRED
Detailed activity-related information is also available at the website indicated below.
All talks will be held at Main Lecture Hall of the Leonardo da Vinci Building (formerly called Main Building), while poster sessions will be held at the Adriatico Guest House.
Posters can be either in vertical or horizontal format, but please make sure posters are not larger than mts 1.15 x 1.15
