Abstract Submission

Step 1 / 10: Presentation Options

Topic: An abstract topic (see list here) that is relevant for your abstract must be selected during Step 1 of the submission process. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to change the topics during the abstract assessment process.

Preferred presentation type: Please choose one of the following:

Podium (Oral) or Poster

Poster Only

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to change the presentation type according to the requirements of the scientific program.

Step 2 / 10: Institution Information

Institution(s): The institution(s) of the authors should be indicated fully with the “department” and “institution” names while avoiding any abbreviations such as Dept., Inst., Hosp., etc. Please include the City and Country for each institution. (For US, please make sure to enter the country information after the state name).

The institution, city, and country should be written in lower case while the initials of each word are written in capitals.

Enter each affiliation only once: i.e., if there are 5 authors, 3 of whom are from the same affiliation and 2 of whom are from another, you will have 2 institutions, NOT 5. However, if there are 2 or more departments at the same institution represented, they can be entered separately.

If any of the authors have more than one affiliation, enter both affiliations in a compounded style as one affiliation: i.e., if there are 5 authors, 2 of whom are from the same affiliation (Institute A), 2 of whom are from another (Institute B), and 1 of whom is from both affiliations (Institutes A and B), you will have 3 institutions, NOT 5 or NOT 2. (First institution: Institute A, second one: Institute B, and the third one: Institute A & Institute B). Include the City and Country for each affiliation.

Step 3 / 10: Author Information

Author(s): The first, middle, and last names of all the authors must be fully indicated correctly and in the right order. Please pay attention to match the institutions to the right authors, and make sure that you select the “presenting author” correctly.
