Submission conditions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Only abstracts in English are accepted.
  • Do not include author names in the title or body of your abstract because a “blind” reviewing process will be used – you can enter the names online during the submission process.
  • Product brand names are not allowed in the abstract title or abstract text. Use generic names only. A brand name can be inserted as a reference at the bottom of the abstract page.
  • Abstracts submitted will be designated for either e-poster or oral presentations by the reviewing committee.
  • If a publication has been presented before the conference the authors should state this in the end of the abstract (in the text). The committee will then take this into account when reviewing the abstracts.

  • The title should be as brief as possible but long enough to clearly indicate the nature of the study.
