Scientific sessions will take place from Monday, 10th, through Friday, 14th. The format of the conference will be organized with a total of 7 to 9 sessions of 4 hours each. Each topic will be introduced by an invited review of 50 minutes (+10 min for discussion) followed by talks of 25+5 or 12+3 minutes to allow a reasonably large number of participants to speak. There will be several poster sessions.
A popular talk for a wider public will be held at Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos in La Laguna, just across the road from the IAC’s headquarters.
The sessions will take place at the modern Conference Centre, within easy walking distance from the hotel where most of the participants will be accommodated. It is set within the Parque Taoro on one of the hills with a beautiful view of the centre of Puerto de la Cruz and its coasts. Apart from the Conference Centre, the park contains exotic plants and birds. This conference centre has full facilities for conference users including:
