ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS CLOSED.
The Scientific Committee will determine whether abstracts will be accepted as free communications or poster presentations, with consideration to be given to the author’s preference.
The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission to the Secretariat.
Only the abstracts of registered presenting authors will be included in the final programme and book of abstracts.
Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published on the website prior to the Congress.
PREPARATION OF PRESENTATIONS
Instructions for preparation of posters will be sent together with acceptance notifications.
The Congress program includes dedicated poster viewing time and poster walks.
BOOK OF ABSTRACTS
Accepted abstracts will be printed in a Book of Abstracts which will be available to all congress participants
Rules for submission
An individual may appear as first author on up to two (2) abstracts. The first author is expected to attend the congress and present the poster or free communication. There is no limit to the number of abstracts a person can appear on as a co-author.
All abstracts must be submitted and presented in clear English with accurate grammar and spelling of a quality suitable for publication. If you need help, please arrange for the review of your abstract by a colleague who is a native English speaker, by a university scientific publications office (or other similar facility) or by a copy editor, prior to submission.
Only abstracts of authors who have paid their registration fees by Monday, April 6, 2009 will be scheduled for presentation and included in the Book of Abstracts.
