The scientific programme of the conference will comprise a set of plenary talks followed by poster and oral parallel sessions. The aim is to create a set of clear themes, aligned with the areas of interest of the EAA working groups (listed on the main page), such that the programme resembles a set of parallel workshops for the various specialisms, but giving opportunities for attendees to gain from cross-fertilisation between the themes. This latter aspect is one of the key benefits that emerge from a meeting crossing such a broad set of related fields. The scope of the conference and the abstract classification scheme provide a flavour for the content of the conference.

Poster presentation will be given particular emphasis as a means for the dissemination of information to a broad audience in an informal setting.

Posters should be A0, in portrait orientation (841mm wide × 1189mm high).

The EAA working groups will offer a set of Poster Prizes to encourage and recognise excellence in poster presentation. Guidance on the criteria is provided through the link at bottom of this page.

Oral presentations will take place in six parallel sessions and wil be allotted 20 minutes each.

Failure to register by 15 July 2012 of at least one author for accepted abstracts will result in abstracts removed from the program and abstract book.
