- Reviewing and selecting the abstracts proposed by the Young Researchers,
- Elaborating the programme and distributing the abstracts by session,
- Reviewing the tutors’ CVs and distributing the sessions among the selected tutors,
- Ensuring that the exchanges between tutors and young researchers are running smoothly and effectively, and advise otherwise,
- Ensuring the proper running of the Seminar activities,
