Programme

The EMPG XV meeting offers a unique opportunity for research presentation and discussion. As in the previous editions of EMPG, the main focus will be on experimental work.

Printed Programme

A printed version of the final programme will be distributed upon registration. In the meantime the EMPG XV Programme as PDF document can be downloaded from the website. Last updated on 10 May 2016

Schedule

Like past EMPGs we are running two parallel sessions. Poster and oral sessions will not overlap, the former being scheduled for the afternoon. Several oral sessions will be opened by invited talks of 30 minutes. Regular presentations are 15 minutes and all sessions will include poster presentations in addition.
