Scientific Program of the IHSS-14
Scientific program of the IHSS-14 will include oral sessions, poster sessions and round table discussions. Oral sessions will take place in the morning, and poster sessions in the afternoon. Oral sessions will include keynote invited lectures of 40 min long (30 min talk and 10 min questions) and volunteered oral presentations of 20 min long (15 min talk and 5 min questions). The special section will be dedicated to presentations of the IHSS travel awardees. The presentations at this session will be 10 min long (7 min talk and 3 min questions). Posters will have size of A0 format. The special feature of the IHSS-14 program will be Round Table Discussions (RTD), which will take place in the after dinner time. The RTD will take place on September 15 and 16, 2008. Three parallel RTDs will be running on those days yielding a total of six. The topics of RTD will be following the main topics of the conference. The most attended session 2 "Humic substances and NOM in the changing environment" will be split into two round tables (2a and 2b) devoted to aquatic and soil environments, respectively. The goal of RTDs is to provide more space for discussions on the burning topics of humic research. The round tables will be two hours long: first hour will include 10-15 short (3 min) oral poster presentations, and the second hour ­ moderated discussions. The results of the RTDs will set the grounds for the conclusions of the IHSS-14 conference. Another special feature of the IHSS-14 is the Exhibition "Humic materials ­ resources for the 21st century". The Exhibition will be on displace during the whole time of the conference. The official attendance time of the Exhibition by all participants is September 17, 2008.
