Scientific Program
This symposium has the rule that everyone should be given the same chance to expose their knowledge. As in the previous symposium, we strongly encourage the expression of scientific opinions and discussion. Times of presentation may vary slightly if speakers fail to show up, but as before this free time is wisely used to further expose, analyze, inquire and conclude new ideas. Please note that this program is subject to changes, including dates, depending on climatic and circumstancial conditions. This implies a possible modification of the sites of travel. The organizers will find the optimal conditions for a succesful symposium
