Conference Program

Please note the Conference Programme is still be subject to changes.

The conference dinner will take place on Tuesday. On Wednesday there will be a dedicated Sintra Afternoon, to allow for more informal social interaction amongst the Conference participants and some sightseeing of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

Abstracts for communications will soon be made available on this webpage.
