New schedule this year

Based on the feed-back received in the previous years, the format of this year’s annual meeting will be adapted to allow the participants to follow all the talks. Highlights of happenings will be presented by all our Education and Research Units and our Analytical Platform by the Directors themselves as well as by the researchers and the industrial partners. Outsider’s views on CCMX will also be on the agenda with presentations from the industry.
