Presentations

Here, all presentations from authors that agreed to have them published in the NETTAB site will be made available, grouped by session. Sessions will be listed cronologically.
All presentations are formatted as PDF files. You are kindly requested to make a personal use only, cite the source and the authors and do not redistribute, unless an explicit consensus from the authors is granted.
Not all presentations are currently linked, some of them will be added to the site later. Stay tuned!
