Scientific Program
The general schedule for the scientific program is now available here. The scientific program will start each day with a plenary lecture. Oral presentations (20 min) are compiled into general and special sessions. Two poster sessions are planned for Monday/Tuesday and Wednesday/Thursday.

The submission of Short Papers in Dioxin 2007 has been closed on June 15th, 2007.

Proceedings
All Short Papers accepted will be published in a single volume entitled Organohalogen Compounds, provided the presenting author has registered and payment has been received. The proceedings will be accessible via the internet and available as a searchable CD-ROM.
Please note that there is a limit of 2 Short Papers per presenting author and registration.

Oral Presentations
During each session four to eight speakers will be invited to present a talk related to the topic of the session. Talks will be allotted 20 minutes (15 minutes for the lecture and 5 minutes for discussion). Speakers will be chosen by the session coordinators from among those who have submitted Short Papers. Short Papers not selected for oral presentation will be considered for poster presentation.

Poster Presentations
Authors will be informed of acceptance and assigned a poster number. They will be responsible for posting their work on the corresponding board. Technical assistance and material for display will be provided by the Symposium Secretariat.

Otto Hutzinger Student Awards
Six prizes will be awarded for the best oral and poster presentations by students. Candidates must be the first author and presenter of the Short Paper. Short Papers will be reviewed by a committee selected by the Organizing and Scientific Committee.
You must indicate on the online registration form if you are interested in being considered for an Otto Hutzinger Student Award.
