Session overview

Below you can find the overview of the sessions accepted to the conference. The sessions are clustered according to the ESP Working Groups structure: Biome (B), Sectoral (S) and Thematic (T) Working Groups. Also, General Sessions (which do not have a direct link to the ESP Working Groups and Regional Chapters structure) will be 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 session description for that session will open.

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