The scientific sessions were held at McGill University. All Long-Term and Cross-Disciplinary Fellows, Young Investigator and Program Grant holders and Career Development Awardees were invited. In all there were 24 oral presentations and 158 poster presentations and a total of 237 registered participants. The evening events were much appreciated, especially the trip to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts where participants enjoyed an exclusive viewing of the The Warrior Emperor and China's Terracotta Army exhibit.
