Selection criteria
The primary criteria in selecting participants will be the excellence of their research and scientific contributions, as judged by their submitted abstracts and published work. In addition to these criteria, we will aim to achieve balance in terms of geographical location and gender. We will aim to achieve fair representation of scientists, being mindful to include opportunities for early career researchers and groups that are currently underrepresented. This approach should encourage a more diverse group of scientists to establish themselves in this research field.

Sustainability at the meeting
The meeting venue (Hotel Mercure Toulouse Centre Saint-Georges) is implementing most energy-conservation measures but is not yet certified with the green key label. The hotel is committed to reducing energy consumption by mandatory temperature settings of 25°C in summer and 19°C in winter, it uses low energy lighting, it follows a ‘no plastic’ rule by maintaining water fountains (flat and sparkling) in meeting areas, which are equipped with large glass jugs, and also uses no single-use plasticware in the restaurant.
The venue is centrally located with good public transport connections and close to major transport hubs of Toulouse. It is just 1.2 km away from the main train station, Toulouse Matabiau. From the station, it can be reached in 15 minutes on foot, in 10 minutes by Toulouse metro or bus, or in 6 minutes by taxi. Also, it is located 9 km from Toulouse Blagnac airport and is well connected to the main train station by shuttle bus.
The restaurant will opt for only vegetarian food on at least one day of the meeting.
The Hotel Mercure Toulouse Centre Saint-Georges has a ‘no plastic’ policy; it will serve water from fountains or in jugs rather than plastic bottles.
The Hotel Mercure Toulouse Centre Saint-Georges will serve locally sourced food.
Five of our invited speakers are committed to travel by train to the meeting destination.
The discount will be offered to participants who travel by train to reach the meeting destination within Europe. By these measures, we aim to promote greater awareness of environmental sustainability issues.
Participants are requested to offset the CO2 footprint from the flights by paying the extra charge offered by most airlines.
We will distribute meeting programs and abstract books electronically.
We chose a social networking destination that can be reached easily by walking. We will encourage participants to walk to the wine-tasting event and to the meeting point for the boat trip (within 1km) by providing them with maps and directions.
