Posters
Aside from the normal poster visits, there will also be parallel "poster tours" in which a group of people will gather at a pre specified time (say 19.30) and get a short tour of all the posters in that cluster. The tour consists of a sequence of presentations (one for each poster, about 1 minute!). The presentation will not be supported by audiovisual means (except for the poster itself) and without a microphone (because of the parallel nature of the tours). There will be at least 2 opportunities to take a tour of a certain cluster.
