Programme

Scientific Programme

The conference will include five days of lectures, till Friday 12 July, afternoon.

Following the tradition, the conference will be introduced by an invited talk of the chairman of the previous conference, NCM11, prof. Georges Calas.

Main topics sessions will be introduced through 14 presentations by invited speakers selected in collaboration with the International Advisory Board.
70 Oral presentations will be done by participants.

Two wide organized poster sessions (68+66 or more) will allow strong and friendly interaction between participants.
Best Poster Awards (General and dedicated to Student Category) will be assigned.

Suggested Poster dimension is A0 vertical. The A0 paper size is 841 by 1,189 millimetres (33.1 in × 46.8 in).
We have two kinds of Support Panels: single or double side-use.
The minimum support panel dimension is 100 H x 150 V cm.

The Time Table of NCM12 is downloadable here.

The Full Program of Oral and Poster Contibutions is downlaodable here.
