PRE-SYMPOSIUM PROGRAMME
We had so many great papers submitted for NLS2 but didn't have the time in the programme to showcase all of them. Instead, we will be including our favourites in an online programme. Reading our Pre Symposium papers is a great way to get ready for the Symposium in December! Keep watching in the coming weeks as more papers will be added.
