As our sessions are getting defined, the chairs named and the keynote lecturers invited, one gradually starts to sense the excitement about the oral program format that the MSB symposium series characterizes. A challenging theme in the field of the session topic has been defined by the session chairs, superb keynote speakers that lead of the session invited, leaving space for 4-5 contributed oral presentation in the session. A double-blind peer review process ensures top science contributions regardless reputation and seniority.
Below are the sessions and corresponding keynote lecturers. The "More Info" buttons give you more detail about each session theme and mentions some of the controversy behind it. One should feel compelled to be part of the program as a contributor or in the discussions for which 1/3 of the slot time/contribution will be allocated.
