Abstracts should be submitted in a Word document (not pdf), including abstract title, authors and affiliation, followed by the abstract text that can be up to 250 words. Presentations can be in oral (12 minutes + 3 questions) or poster formats. Please indicate your preferred format at the bottom of the word document and the name of the presenting author. We only accept one abstract per presenting author. We strongly encourage submissions from students. If submissions exceed time slots for presentations, student member submissions will be prioritized. Please contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your abstracts!


We would also like to draw the attention of university students to a panel discussion that will be held at the conference where representatives of main research institutes and others discuss the possibilities that lie in the collaboration between universities and research institutes regarding graduate studies.
