​
Special Session: In honour of Antônio Brasil Batista on the occasion of his 80th birthday.


Communications shall have a duration of 15 minutes plus 5 minutes of questions. A day of the week (typically Wednesday) shall be chosen for scientific divulgation, in the evening, for the local communities.

Posters shall be displayed during the whole duration of the event and a poster session might be included in the above schedule in order for each author to briefly (5 minutes) present themselves and his work. This procedure has the aim of triggering and encouraging discussion among the participants.
