What is the Controversial Issues Session

To further develop the knowledge on specific topics where uncertainities prevail, in Barcelona 2011 it has been started the “Controversial Issues Session” tradition, where two prominent speakers have been invited to give their idea, knowledge and practical approach to specific controversial topics, with the presentation of two different approaches. One moderator has the role to stimulate the subsequent discussion with the whole audience.
