Preliminary PROGRAM INFORMATION

The organizers have arranged to hold sessions during the most globally-accessible times. This reality plus seriously reduced registration fees should be attractive to researchers from around the globe.

The below, preliminary schedule-at-a-glance is in British Summer Time (BST) +0100 UTC. What this means is that sessions will be held in the (a) Morning for the Americas, (b) Afternoon for Europe, and (c) Evening in Asia/Oceania.

The 1-hour Scientific Sessions will be entirely comprised of oral abstract presentations which were peer-reviewed and selected for presentation during the virtual event.
