The precise order of presentations will be decided upon when we have received all the final abstracts.


Proceedings

As with all Beilstein symposia, speakers are invited to submit their scientific contributions as papers for publication on our web site as part of a series of such events. We would like to have a paper that reflects the contents and theme of your talk.

The length of the submitted paper should be between 10 - 20 printed pages. We hope that all speakers will be able to provide us with a paper of their talk, to enable us to have a lasting documentation of this workshop. We will allow free access to the proceedings.

Deadline for submitting the Proceedings papers will be end of August, 2010.
