17:00-18:00 Session 14: POSTER LIVE Q&A SESSION

During the POSTER LIVE Q&A SESSION conference participants will be able to submit questions to poster presenters (both with and without the 3-minutes presentation) via the Zoom chat.

Session moderators will select the questions and relay them to the poster presenters.

The poster presenters are kindly asked to be present during the scheduled time to ensure interaction with the audience.

Four parallel meetings will be held (see below); participants will be free to move from one meeting to another at any time of the session.
