*** Please note:  Enquiries about the themes of any of the thematic groups can be sent to any convenor, but the Abstract must be submitted through the website on the appropriate form, not sent to the Convenor.  The Thematic Group should be stated on the proposal, but if you are not sure where it belongs (there are inevitably overlaps), put a question mark and/or consult the relevant convenors beforehand.
