Scientific Programme
The ECCM-2001 scientific programme was composed of the Plenary Sessions, Parallel Keynote Sessions and Mini-Symposia Sessions. In the frame of 13 parallel streams 125 Sessions of 33 Mini-Symposia were arranged. Each Mini-Symposium was a sequence of sessions placed in the same lecture room. In the frame of Mini-Symposia the Invited Keynote Lectures were delivered.
A plenary lecturer had 40 minutes for delivering his lecture and 5 minutes for discussion. 30+5 minutes were given to Keynote Lecturers in Parallel Sessions and Invited Speakers in Mini-Symposia. Half of that time was at disposal of each participant to present his/her contribution to Mini-Symposia.
