All participants are invited to register and submit abstracts of scientific communications for oral communication or poster selection. The submitted abstracts will be reviewed for their acceptance by the Organising Committee. Out of the proposals, about 5 oral communications and 20 flash presentations will be selected. Several prizes, both for oral communications and posters, will be awarded during the symposium.  The accepted abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts.

Participants wishing to submit an abstract should use the abstract submission menu available on this website.

Please note that your registration is required to access abstract submission, but payment is not mandatory at this stage. Accepted summaries will however only be published in the book of abstracts of the symposium, after full payment of the registration fee.
