Every lecture (45 min.) will be followed by a 45 min. discussion, based on pre-written questions submitted by participants. Pre-written questions should be submitted by participants to the chairs by 1 March 2000 (preferentially by e-mail). Submitters may have a few minutes to clarify their questions with 1-2 transparencies. A poster presentation will be available.
