The General Meeting will have a similar format to previous CMS annual meetings and will have 7 plenary lectures (including that of the CMS Awards). This Meeting will have 7 sessions organized in 2 parallel sessions (the session on Tuesday 8th June, afternoon will be in parallel to Conferences of Sepiolite Symposium) with a total of 7 key notes, about 60 oral communications and 100 poster presentations per one of the three poster sessions (one session per day). All presentations (oral and poster) will be in English.
The conferences of the Sepiolite Symposium will take place in parallel to the Tuesday afternoon General Meeting session. The technical program will be held in the “Hotel Meliá Sevilla”, the convention headquarters. The hotel is easy to reach via Cercanias C-1 from Santa Justa (usually track 9), the main railway station. Purchase a ticket and board the train heading to San Bernardo. The route to the hotel is traced on the map below.
The position of the hotel with respect to the main railway station (Santa Justa) and the San Bernardo cercanias station is shown in the top map.
