ENSEMBLES Third General Assembly, 20-24 November 2006: Programme Schedule
Participants will need to register and pay their registration fee in advance for the General Assembly. A registration form is available online and as a pdf document. 20 November is assigned for RTs and WPs to meet (perhaps in joint meetings with other RTs) to discuss progress, plans, science and any other issues. 21-23 November will be the plenary sessions including scientific talks, talks on cross-cutting issues, and summaries of progress and plans from each RT.
On arrival, participants will be able to obtain their name badge and other General Assembly information.
