The scientific sessions, which included invited lectures, selected talks, flash presentations, poster discussions and speakers’ corners, thanks to your very active participation and interest, were all of high level. Moreover, the panel discussion introduced this year and the pubquiz, thanks to the young scientists’ committee, as well as the organized social events created a very friendly atmosphere for interactions between the young scientists and the outstanding experts.

The success of this meeting inaugurates forthcoming events in this scientific field and I would be grateful you’re joining us in the near future.
