Opening of the registration desks.

Registration desks will be open Sunday 9th from 5 pm to 8h15 pm as well as Monday 10th  from 8 am to 9 am. The desks will open again on demand for late arrivals.
Oral Presentations.
Presentations are expected to be delivered by a PC Power Point format, and they will be projected from the conference computer. Speakers are kindly requested to save their talks on a flash memory pen and handle it : the day before for a morning talk and the morning for a talk the afternoon of the same day. For organization purposes, speakers are kindly asked not to give their talks using their personal laptops. Please, note that the program is very dense, thus be sure to structure the talk to last within the time assigned, recalled here :Invited talks will be 25min talk + 5 min available for questions. Non-invited talks will be 12min talk + 3 min available for questions.Speakers are also kindly requested to handle a pdf format of their talk to make available for download from the conference website after the conference. If one speaker cannot provide a pdf file, the local committee will create one from the Power Point file, except if the speaker refuses explicitly to the organizers.

A video projector will be available. If needed, please request it one day before your talk.

Poster Presentations.

The authors are kindly requested to settle their posters as soon as they arrive on the site. To allow proper discussion time, posters set-up will be possible from Sunday 9th to Saturday 15th. Nevertheless, each day, the preference should be given to the topics corresponding to sessions held the same day and corresponding poster authors should be available for discussion in front of their poster this day.
Authors are also kindly requested to handle a pdf format of their poster to make available for download from the conference website.

Proceedings information.
As previously, the papers will be published shortly after the Conference as regular papers in the journal IONICS as soon as they are finalized after reviewing and revision if necessary. For the quality of the Conference it is important that all presentations are worthwhile to be published and become published shortly after the Conference. Also, you will have a reference of what you have openly presented. Papers should be submitted electronically. If not submitted before, you can submit it from the conference site using internet facilities. Please, follow the following procedure: 
-         Prepare your paper, figures and tables in the common way by using any word processing and drawing program. There is no specific limitation of the length of the paper and the number of figures and tables. It is advised that you have separate files for the text, each figure and each table. Please, add to the text file at the very end (after References): "Paper presented at the 11th EuroConference on the Science and Technology of Ionics, Batz-sur-Mer, Sept. 9 - 15, 2007".


-      Open the following URL:  http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ionics


-     If you already have an account, fill in your User ID and Password and Log In; if you do not yet have an account, click on the "Create Account" link at the upper right hand edge of the page (somewhat difficult to see); if you are not sure whether you have an account or have forgotten the password, enter your e-mail address in the "Password Help" section at the right hand side.

-         In each case, follow the procedure and provide all requested information. When you insert the title and abstract, please, take into account that the limit will be 50 and 200 words, respectively. When you input the text, figures and tables, a link will be made to your original files. Feed in one by one (like attachments to e-mails). Select "Main Document" for the text file and "Figure Document" for each figure. Do not worry about seeing initially only three data file fields. More fields will open once you have used them up. Please, take into consideration that the paper has not yet been transmitted at this stage! A pdf-file of all your documents (text, figures and tables) will be generated and you have to open this pdf-file and confirm that the conversion is correct. This avoids that the referees will later get a document with mistakes. Only when you have confirmed the correct conversion, the paper will be submitted to the journal. You and all your co-authors will get a notification by e-mail. The Conference organizers will also get notified.

-     Revisions will be also made electronically. Follow the instructions given at that time. Corrections will be made in your original files and then submitted as revised version. The publisher will eventually use your original files.
