Call for Abstracts

Abstracts may be submitted for oral or poster presentations. Abstracts must be submitted in English. The Congress Scientific Committee will determine whether abstracts will be accepted based on blind review. They will respect the authors' preference but reserve the right to assign the category and make the final decision.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee after each submission deadline. Submitted abstracts can be modified until each submission deadline. Abstract submitters can expect to receive notification regarding the acceptance of their abstract within 6 weeks (approximately) after the abstract submission deadline.
