Parallel sessions

The largest part of the NAM science programme is the collection of parallel sessions, each on a different scientific topic. The session chairs will welcome submission of abstracts from anyone interested in presenting a talk and/or poster.

Each session has a short abbreviation which will be used on the schedule. Click on the titles to see the full description of the scientific contents of the sessions.
