Call for abstracts > Instructions

ORAL COMMUNICATION

Participants who would like to present their work as an oral communication are invited to submit an abstract by 15 February 2017. For a poster presentation, the deadline is extended to 15 April 2017.

The submission must be done via the ‘Submit an abstract’ tool available in the ‘Call for Abstracts’ menu on this website. The preference for oral or poster presentation is asked to the applicant during the submission process. As well, the choice of one and only one topic per abstract is asked (please select only ONE topic). Please note that your registration is required to submit abstracts, but payment is not mandatory at this stage.

The template for abstract submission is available here.

All abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the Organizing Committee for their acceptance, and notification of acceptance, either as oral or poster presentation, will be emailed within one month after the submission deadline. Of note is that full payment of the registration fee is required for accepted summaries to be published in the book of abstracts of the Symposium.
