At the re­cently con­cluded Con­fer­en­ce Ad­vis­ory Board meet­ings, the en­thu­si­ast­ic board mem­bers thor­oughly re­view­ed and dis­cus­sed each and eve­ry in­di­vi­du­al ab­stract sub­mit­ted. We would like to say a big "Thank you!" to all mem­bers of the board for their time and much ap­pre­ci­ated ef­fort! This year we re­ceived around 150 ab­stracts from 26 coun­tries. They will form the base for the con­fer­en­ce pro­gramme which will be pub­lished in Decem­ber. All au­thors who sub­mit­ted ab­stracts will be in­formed about the out­come of the ev­al­u­ation pro­cess very soon!
