ICMP 2003

ICMP 2003 schedule

All plenary sessions and other main activities of the Congress took place in the Aula Magna hall (see information on conference location).

Parallel sessions were divided in two parts of 1.5 hours each ((1) and (2) in the schedule below). Each period of 1.5 hours was always occupied by two or three parallel session parts.

For each parallel session part, the schedule shows where it took place (see also the conference location page):
