The conference will consist of two plenary sessions each morning and four
concurrent sessions each afternoon, which will include presentations chosen
from submitted abstracts. As in the past, the conference will feature a
number of community-led workshops that will provide opportunities for
focused discussion, whilst three poster sessions will provide ample time
for research discussion. Delegates will also have a free afternoon between
the Friday morning sessions and evening poster session to engage in
networking, scientific discussion and to explore Edinburgh and it’s
surroundings.
