The session leaders will be responsible for the scientific and editorial management of the various articles attached to them. They must provide the Congress Chair with corrected papers that comply with the Congress editorial standards. They will provide an introduction to their session.

The Congress Chair will be responsible for the overall scientific direction of all Congress volumes.
