The Organizing Committee cordially invites delegates to participate actively by submitting abstracts for poster presentation. 2 awards will be foreseen at the end of the meeting for poster presentations.

Poster Presentations

All registered participants at BPG 2010 will receive a copy of the book of abstracts.

Oral Communications

Deadline for oral and poster communications submission is April 25, 2010.
