COLAGE XI - Scientific Program

  For a PDF version of the list of oral contributions click here. These are the guidelines for all COLAGE speakers:

       - Speakers cannot connect their laptops to the projector.

       - Acceptable formats are PPT PPTX KEY or PDF.

       - Your contribution should be submitted to colage2018@gmail.com as soon as it is ready, and certainly not later than the day before your presentation. If your talk is on Monday, we recommend to submit it before your trip.

       - It is essential for all speakers not to exceed their allotted time (40+5 for keynote, 20+5 for invited, 12+3 for contibuted).
