The Conference languages are Portuguese, English and Spanish. However, the Organisation strongly recommends the authors to send full papers in English. If one of the other languages will be used, an English Abstract must be provided. The slides for the oral presentations and the posters must be written in English. 

The preliminary Programme includes an opening ceremony, 3 plenary lectures with invited speakers, 2 keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions and a closing ceremony. The oral presentations will be divided into two parallel sessions. The programme also includes a visit to one of the most modern and largest mills in the world for printing and writing uncoated wood free papers - the new paper mill of Portucel Soporcel Group, in Setúbal. A welcome reception and a conference banquet will be offered to the participants in a relaxing atmosphere for open discussions and pleasant moments.

Tickets for Lunches (12, 13 and 14 October), Welcome Reception (12 October) and Conference Banquet (14 October) will be distributed upon registration. Each participant will also receive a name badge. For security reasons, all participants are requested to wear their badges during all the conference activities and social events.
