Vienna conference programme: sessions, speakers and documents
The programme is the archive's detailed record of the meeting sequence. It identifies the chairs, contributors and session topics rather than repeating the conference welcome text. Read the timetable below in its historical setting: it records the 2018 event and is not an agenda for an upcoming conference.
Speaker biographies support that record. The recovered Marike Kolossa-Gehring short CV is available at its original document address. The publication reference sheet on chemicals regulation provides a separate bibliographic starting point and should not be confused with a presentation or the full journal article.
