Announcement: The deadline for full consideration of abstracts for oral presentations was July 3, 2023.  Abstracts submitted after that date will still be reviewed for acceptance as poster presentations.  An exceptional poster abstract may be selected for oral presentation, as limited space in the program schedule allows. 

We urge all speakers to register for participation by September 02 at the latest. After that, no Early-Bird registration is possible and integration into the conference program cannot be guaranteed.
