Posters
The final programme including the schedule of the poster sessions can be downloaded here:
http://diffusion.uni-leipzig.de/pdf/DFIII-Programme.pdf.
Poster presenters are kindly asked to mount their posters early in the morning of the day to which they have been assigned and to take them down by 18:00 of the same day. Each poster should be displayed on the board bearing its number. Presenters are also kindly asked to make themselves available at their posters for discussion during the designated sessions.
The poster size should be upright A0 (the effective width must not exceed the 840 mm!).
Location
With its rich cultural heritage, impressive monuments, and charming natural landscape, the city of Athens is an ideal venue for a conference in August (photos). The conference (oral and poster sessions) will take place in the Emmantina Hotel (www.emmantina.gr), in Glyfada (a suburb of Athens), by the coast of the Saronic Gulf (click for bird’s eye view of the location by Google maps).
Please visit the location-page for further details (e.g. airport access, local transport, useful links).
