SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

 

 

The workshop will comprise invited keynote lectures and contributed oral and poster presentations.

The organizers will put together the final programme directly after the deadline for registration (1 March 2005). The author’s preference will be considered but we will reserve the right to assign any paper to oral or poster session. The main criteria for the selection will be the originality and possible impact of the contribution, in relation to the content of the oral sessions.

 

 

 

 

 

Registration desk

 

Registration will take place at the Informal Get-together Reception on Sunday 17 April 2005.

For late arrival, registration will be at the workshop venue, “Het Trippenhuis”, Kloveniersburgwal 29, Amsterdam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Contributed papers

 

Oral and poster presentations addressing questions concerning algal host-virus ecology, physiology and diversity, molecular algal virology, viral control, geochemical cycling, methods and models are welcome.

 

Oral contributions will be strictly limited to 20 min. The remaining 10 min will be used for discussion. Speakers are requested to hand in their presentation well in advance (min.10 minutes prior to their session)  in order to load their Power Point presentations onto a single computer.

We do prefer PowerPoint (PP) presentations, although we can provide facilities for OHP (OverHead Projector) presentations. Please indicate on abstract form whether you plan to make use of PP or OHP.

 

Posters should fit in an area of 1.2 m wide by 1.2 m tall. Please make sure your posters do not go over this size. Posters may be put up on Sunday afternoon, and will be observable for the duration of the conference. At least one of the authors must be registered to attend each poster at the Monday afternoon poster session.
