Program: Active participation by the participants in all scientific activities has become a tradition.

The selection of graduate student and postdoc participants to give a short talk is based on the poster abstracts, list of publications and recommendations (if requested).

Poster: All participants will present a poster during one of the poster sessions. You should bring your printed poster as there is no opportunity to print posters in Spetses. Posters are A0-sized, portrait as well as landscape orientation are both possible.
