The conference programme includes:
- Keynote lectures: Each of the themes will be introduced by a keynote lecture by a leading scientist and will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and the evolution of ideas in the field, and will identify new avenues and research directions to stimulate discussions. The time slot allocated to each keynote lecture is 90 min, including at least 30 minutes of discussion.
- Invited and contributed talks: Each session will include 1-2 invited talks and 3-4 contributed talks selected from the submitted papers.

A chair will be designated for each group and will take responsibility for reporting the outcome of the break-out discussion during the round table on the last day of the meeting.
- Poster sessions:Two poster sessions, preceded by a 2 min flash presentation (1-2 slides) of each poster assigned to the session, are planned. Posters will be displayed throughout the entire meeting.
