Session overview

Below you can find both the overview of all conference sessions and the Book of Abstracts per session. The sessions were clustered according to the ESP Working Groups structure: Biome (B), Sectoral (S) and Thematic (T) Working Groups. Also, General Sessions (G) was organised.

By clicking on the clusters, you will be directed to that cluster. Each cluster consists of several sessions. When you click the session title the Book of Abstracts for that session will open. The Book of Abstracts per session contains three sections: 1) session description, 2) session program, 3) abstracts to be presented in that session.

Links to the ESP Working Groups are included to show the linkages between the conference sessions and the ESP community in general.
