Symposia | Dr. Antonio Esteve's Fundation

International symposia attempt to encourage contact between scientists by discussing a topic of relevant multidisciplinary content. These meetings can only be accessed via invitation of a very small number of participants (maximum of 30), and discussion-fostering topics are provided. The duration is of three days, with a maximum number of around 25 submitters. These prepare manuscripts with their interventions, and discussions are tape-recorded and edited always in the English language.
