* Although the online form must be used for official registration, the Organizing Committee would appreciate an early indication by email of interest in presenting at the symposium, as well as the tentative title of the presentation (please send to: warburg2019@bn.gov.ar). This email will not replace the necessary online registration form; it will be used by the Organizing Committee to better plan sessions and dialogue with potential presenters.
