Abstract Submission

The abstract submission tool is now available. 



Possibilities to present your abstract:
  • There is poster viewing for all abstracts which have been accepted and assigned to either a "Poster Express" session or a "Poster Viewing" session
  • There are express sessions for a selection of accepted abstracts (oral presentation of 1 minute – on stage) – using 1 ppt slide
  • There are platform presentations for a selection of accepted abstracts
    (oral presentation of 10 min incl. 2 min Q&A – on stage) – using PPT slides

Authors that submit an abstract will be asked to indicate their preference to participate in the oral presentations. The reviewers will make a selection of the submitted abstract that qualify for the express sessions or the platform presentation.
