Scientists and PhD Students interested in the meeting should deposit online before the deadline: https://cjm2-2020.sciencesconf.org/

• their curriculum vitae
• the list of their main publications for the 3 last years
• the abstract of their presentation:

The abstract must respect the following template: TemplateResumeFile

• First line: title
• Second line: list of authors. Presenting author underlined
