The international Scientific Committee, composed of more than 140 experts in their respective fields, is committed to develop an attractive and well balanced Conference Programme. Each submitted abstract is reviewed by independent Paper Review Experts plus the Topic Organisers. At least two Topic Organisers from the International Scientific Committee work together as a team for each Conference subtopic, resulting in a final evaluation and selection of abstracts to compose a Conference Programme of highest scientific quality.
