Guidelines for abstract preparation and submission

Please submit your abstract (350-500 words, plus illustrative figure(s), fitting on max 2 pages A4) formatted according to the mandatory template document. Accepted abstracts will be compiled into a proceedings volume and distributed to delegates. Please observe the following points when preparing your abstract:

• Use the template document provided to ensure consistent formatting, and compile your abstract with title, author(s), author affiliation(s), keywords and abstract body. The registration website will ask you to also enter the abstract title, abstract text, and authors in the form fields – please do this in addition to submitting your formatted abstract.
• Abstract text should be 350-500 words in length and may include 1-2 representative figures to illustrate your submission. Max two A4 pages.
• All co-authors should be included in the abstract text. The author/coauthor submitting the abstract must register for the conference.

• Select your preference for Oral or Poster presentation.
• Submit your abstract

You will receive a confirmation email on successful submission of the abstract. Your abstract may be updated at any point before the submission deadline.

Submission of an abstract carries with it the obligation that it is presented during the conference by one of the authors (main or presenting author).
