About submission

About abstracts for presentations

Proposals should be between 2000 characters (approximately 300 words) in length (with references) and written in English. The proposals received will be subjected to an anonymous peer review process to ensure the scientific quality of the submissions.

Presentations should report on completed work. Please note that while it is acceptable to submit abstracts with preliminary rather than full results, a lack of results limits the ability of reviewers to fully assess the impact/significance of the work, which can be compensated for by a clear elaboration of methodology and hypotheses.

Abstracts for presentations are written directly in the template. The abstract should include the objectives, methodology and (preliminary) findings.

 

About abstracts for posters 

Posters are suitable for work in progress and/or work that requires personal feedback. Poster presenters are responsible for the production of their posters (format A0 / 841 x 1189 mm or 33.1 x 46.8 inches).

Abstracts for posters should include the following sections: objectives, methodology and (preliminary) findings.

 

About abstracts for panels

Panels capture a coherent set of three to five individual presentations in which speakers briefly address a central issue or question of particular relevance. An important asset of a panel is that it places individual experiences or research results in a broader context and reserves time for interaction and discussion amongst the panelists and with the audience. The convener of the panel should consider inviting colleagues from different countries to provide an international perspective. The available time is 90 minutes per panel. 

The panel abstract should be submitted as one single abstract and include the following sections: Body containing information on objectives, methodology and (preliminary) findings.
