Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers. Status（fellow's talk/poster）of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.

Fellowship：

We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. A certain number of presentations by graduate students and postdocs in this conference will be selected as fellowship（USD $100-$500）awards.
