Sessions overview ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Below, you will find an overview of all conference sessions along with the corresponding Book of Abstracts for each session. By clicking on a session title, you can access the Book of Abstracts for that particular session. Each Book of Abstracts consists of three sections: 1) session description, 2) session program, and 3) abstracts that will be presented during the session. A comprehensive book of abstracts, including all sessions, can be found here.

The session IDs correspond to the existing ESP Working Groups structure: Biome (B), Sectoral (S) and Thematic (T) Working Groups. Also, Other (O) sessions will be organised. Links to the ESP Working Groups are included to show the linkages between the conference sessions and the ESP community in general.
