Dear Brian, 

looking at the programme the presentations and poster selection are not selected - but I have not seen any call for papers. Is this an internal call - upon invitation?

Thank you. 

Kind regards, 

Nina

Dear Nina,

This event is not really a conference. It is an event run as part of the Maltese Presidency of the EU. All of the speakers are by invitation only.

Warm regards,

Brian
