The conferences will take place over three days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
They are preceded by a day of workshops on Monday 3 July and technical visits on Friday 7 July. A reception for participants will be organised on Monday evening.
The oral presentations are divided into 4 sessions of 1h30 to 2h which take place in parallel in different rooms.

Conference schedule
