Abstract

To present an oral communication or a poster, it is necessary to send an abstract in English of 300 words maximum and indicate in the comments section ‘Yes’ if you intend to submit an article in the special edition later on (‘No’ otherwise).

Abstracts are to be submitted between February 28 and April 15, 2025.

Good news! The abstract submission deadline  has been extended until April 29, 2025.

Notification of acceptance will be sent in May.

A compendium of abstracts will be distributed to the participants of the symposium on USB stick.

Given the limited number of oral presentations and after evaluation by the Scientific Committee, a request for oral communication can be requalified as poster.
