LALS program

Oral paper

Please refer to the Program about the time of your presentation.

We strongly recommend you to upload your presentation (a ppt- or pdf- version)  to a computer of the corresponding hall well in advance. If you still would like to use your own computer, please check that everything works properly.

If you have transparencies, please inform us about this before the beginning of the conference.
