MASIR 2010 - MYKONOS

PROGRAMME

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 will be the date of arrival. That evening will be a welcome reception. The meeting itself begins on Thursday, June 10. The schedule is modeled on our previous three meetings, which have had tremendous success. We are modifying the schedule somewhat to include a completely free morning/early afternoon on Saturday, in recognition of the spectacular site of the meeting.

Please note that due to the highly limited flights and early departure requirements for Sunday travel, the Programme no longer includes scientific sessions on Sunday; the meeting will end late Saturday evening (with a special farewell dinner following the final session).

The Final Programme is now available! Click HERE to download it.
