Overview


Scientific sessions including oral lectures, poster sessions, and nine symposia will be held according to details described below.

Two poster sessions will be scheduled, each 2.5 hours long, permitting ample time for informal discussion amongst all attendees.

On Tuesday night we will tour the Western Wall Tunnels.

On Wednesday we will drive towards the Dead Sea via the Judean Desert, and take the cable car up to Masada for a two hour tour. Time permitting, we will take a dip in the Dead Sea - a unique experience at the lowest point on earth (with salt content so high you cannot sink) and visit antiquities as well as flora and fauna in the area of Ein Gedi, the continental divide of Asia, Africa and Europe.
