The second largest city of Portugal will be the perfect setting for our technical, technological and scientific lectures and presentations. A new approach which has been suggested by members of the EBC Executive Committee, and endorsed by the Local Organising Committee, aims to give institutes and university departments more of a say in the selection of abstracts. Additionally, some sessions will be offered not just in dual parallel but in triple sessions in order to accommodate more high quality papers.
