Abstract Submission Guidelines

1. Abstracts MUST be submitted electronically via the online submission system by 24 January 2024, according to the instructions below. Abstracts received by e-mail or after the deadline will not be accepted and therefore cannot be considered for the programme or publication.

2. Abstracts may be submitted to the following symposia

3. Select a preferred presentation method upon submission:

• Oral presentation
• Poster presentation

4. Corrections to the abstracts can be made only before the deadline of 24 January 2024.

5. Abstracts will be reviewed by conveners and selected for either oral or poster presentation. A preference for oral or poster presentations may be indicated when submitting the abstract. However, the final decision on how the abstract is presented will be made by the reviewers.

6. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Abstract Book. Please have your abstract checked for correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formal structure. The organiser reserves the right to edit abstracts, if necessary, prior to publication in the Abstract Book.

7. All submitters and presenting authors will receive an acceptance notification via e-mail on 14 February 2024.

8. All presenting authors are required to register by 29 February 2024. Registration along with payment of the registration fee is required by this date for the abstract to be included in the conference programme and published in the Abstract Book. Should the author fail to comply with either of these items, the organiser reserves the right not to include the author’s work in the conference programme or in the Abstract Book.

Abstract Formatting

1. All abstracts must be written in English. If your abstract is accepted for an oral presentation, you must be able to give your presentation in English and answer questions from the audience.

2. When submitting your abstract, consider and select the scientific topic (see above) and the preferred presentation method. However, the Scientific Committee reserves the right to decide on the final topic assignment after abstract selection.

3. One presenting author can present only one abstract.

4. There is no limit to the number of co-authors per abstract. The order of co-authors can be changed, if necessary, by swapping the names in the list of co-authors.

5. Maximum abstract length is 300 words. The system will automatically inform you whether you complied with the rules before accepting your submission.
