General
Q: Will I receive an invitation letter if my poster/presentation is accepted?

A: We strongly encourage you to bring a poster even if you were selected to present your work orally.
Q: Where will the symposium take place?
A: The symposium will take place at the ATV (Angewandte Tumorvirologie) Room 105/106 ground floor.
