Submitted abstracts will be evaluated on scientific merit and originality by the International Scientific Committee.

Preparation of Abstracts

Size

Abstracts are limited to 300 words. The abstract title, names of authors and affiliations are not included in the word count. Please do not submit any tables or figures in the abstract.

Title

The title should clearly describe the topic and contain no abbreviations. The title should be as succinct as possible, preferably no longer than 10 words.

Authors

All author names should be included. List the primary author's full name, followed by the other authors' names. Spell out completely the names of all authors using full first name, middle/initial and last name (maintain consistency in authors' names on multiple abstracts to avoid duplication in the Author Index). Authors' affiliations should be indicated by numbered superscripts with the name of the respective institution(s), city, and country typed in upper and lower case and single-spaced without using full-stops.

Presenting Author

If the author(s) of the abstract is an employee(s) of or has a financial relationship with the commercial interest which controls the content of the presentation, then he/she cannot be the presenting author. However, principal investigators responsible for research and development are permitted to present as long as they resolve their COI and as long as they are not employees of the commercial interest. In all printed publications the name of the presenting author will be underscored. Please note: As of August 1, 2019 no changes to the Presenting Author will be made in the Program/Abstract Publication.
