Abstract format
Please note all abstracts must be submitted electronically. When composing your abstract, please carefully follow the guidelines below.
Please note that you should indicate your preferred presentation format with one of the conference themes listed above that you think your abstract best aligns to.
- Maximum of 250 words
- Do not insert any tables or figures as your abstract will be as plain text, rather than an uploaded document
- Check spelling and grammar. Submitted material will be published in conference materials - the abstract should, therefore, contain no errors
- Standard scientific abbreviations may be used - non-standard abbreviations should be included in parenthesis after the first use of the full word
- Do not indent paragraphs
- Present sufficient data to support conclusions - it is unsatisfactory to use statements such as "data will be presented" or "results will be discussed".
