Invited Sessions

Invited Sessions are managed by single colleagues, who are willing to collect other colleagues on topics related to the conference. Invited sessions have title decided by the session organisers and agreed with the conference chairmen; invited sessions do not necessarily need to have title which coincide with the ones for General Sessions.

Colleagues or involved people willing to organize an Invited Session on a specific topic can follow the instructions available here.
