The Conference will consist of Plenary Sessions including the Keynote and Plenary Lectures, held everyday, and of a series of three Parallel Sessions starting by Invited Lectures. Plenary Sessions will be held in the Amphi Cauchy. Parallel Sessions will be in Amphi Navier and Bienvenûe. Amphi Bienvenüe is located in the Bienvenüe building (see "Venue"), it has kindly been made available for the Conference by IFSTTAR.
The European Distinguished Lecture, the Keynote, Plenary and Invited Lectures are found under Distinguished Lectures.
