SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM: OVERVIEW
|
ASSC4 includes one day of pre-conference workshops followed by an extensive scientific program
consisting of plenary lectures and symposia, concurrent sessions of oral presentations,
as well as poster presentations.
ASSC4 extends over four days: June 29th, June 30th, July 1st, and July 2nd.
Below you'll find a condensed version of the scientific program with links to increasingly detailed descriptions. Throughout these pages, abstracts referenced by a code between [] will appear in a separate window
when you click on its code.
