Abstracts submission

Abstracts must be submitted through the link available in this website (Call for abstracts). Abstracts are limited to 500 words and must be written in English, Spanish or Catalan. You will be requested to choose between an oral presentation (15 minutes followed by 5 minutes of questions), symposium (4 related oral presentations) or a poster. You will also be asked to choose one subject category. Be sure no personal information appears in the abstract in order to ensure an anonymous review process.

Symposium abstract submission

Every symposium has one convener; he/she is responsible for organizing the symposium.

Symposia consist of 4 presentations from 2 to 4 different research groups. The full symposium abstract is divided into (a) an abstract for the symposium as a whole and (b) individual abstracts for each of the presentations contained in the symposium. Each abstract (for the symposium as well as for the individual presentations) must stay within 500 words. Each individual abstract must include an individual title and the name of the symposium. The convener will send the abstract for the symposium and each first author an individual abstract.

The symposium abstract must contain a statement of its theme and overall goal.
