The academic program is divided by thematics into sessions. The academic program consist of presentations selected through submissions, but also invited talks. Detailed program with the times of the presentations will be updated to ConfTool and on this page. Each presentation is 20min long (15+5min for questions.)

These sessions are selected from the submissions received, the Academic Program committee will select oral presentations for four topical sessions, and the rest will be available at the poster session. From Industrial applications topic, there is also a possibility to move oral presentations to Industrial program if there are suitable slots available.
