The ROMS workshop is just around the corner and we need a final headcount for catering purposes.

That way we can give the people on the waiting list the opportunity to attend the workshop.
The deadline for abstracts for oral presentations and posters is August 31, 2012. Assembling the program is very time consuming and needs to be printed well in advance so we can ship them to Rio. Please submit your abstract by the August 31st deadline. You can enter/update your abstract by visiting
this page (you will be asked to log in).All US citizens holding a US passport are required to obtain a visa to enter Brazil. Detailed visa information for United States citizens can be found
