TNC 2008

Opening Plenary
Paul van Binst - Universite Libre de Bruxelles
Unfortunately despite the obvious enthusiasm of Mr van Binst it proved difficult in the overview room to follow his presentation closely - partly due to his charming but dense linguistic accent and partly because the streaming showed him but not the slides that he was referring […]

TNC 2008 - Bruges
