Please note: This session was placed in the programme in order to host submissions from colleagues whose interests do not match the topics of the other thematic sessions. It was created as a poster session to allow us maximum flexibility in terms of number of participants. If the final distribution of submissions allows it, part or all of the submissions to that poster session will be, provided the authors agree, and taking into account the opinion of the Programme Committee, converted in paper presentations grouped according to their topic. So do not hesitate, if the topics of the thematic sessions do not correspond to your planned contribution, to submit it to this general poster session, and if you are interested in presenting a paper if possible, to add a short mention of this interest at the end of your abstract.
