NEW DATE: 

26 - 27 October 2020!

The Symposium in Paris 16-17 March 2020 is cancelled because of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Too many speakers and participants have informed us about their travel restrictions. Therefore we have decided to cancel and to postpone the Symposium to 26- 27 October 2020.

We indeed hope you will participate at the Symposium in the end of October.
