3. EMPG XIII Toulouse 11-14 avril 2010 (short report)

Dear EMPG participants

The EMPG XIII meeting is now over. We would like to thank you all for your
participation, the quality of the presentations and the active part you took in the success of oral and poster sessions. We all noticed the great attendance to the sessions even for the Wednesday afternoon with numerous questions for the last talk at 3 p.m. The success is also due to the quality of the chairs’ animation during the sessions; we thank them for it.

We wish to see you again in Kiel for the 14th EMPG conference.
