Authors guidelines
When submitting an abstract, you can choose to submit a symposium or an individual (oral or poster) presentation.

SYMPOSIUM
  • ​A symposium consists of multiple presentations and is led by a chair; the chair of the symposium submits the abstract for the entire symposium.
  • When submitting the symposium, you will have the opportunity to submit an abstract (max. 1000 words). This abstract should contain the following information:
    • A brief description of the general topic of the symposium and the format of the symposium. You are free to suggest a format of your own choice (e.g., 3 presenters followed by a discussant; moderated panel discussion; workshop or hack-a-thon), but keep in mind that a session will have a duration of 1h20.
    • A brief description of the different presentations in the symposium.
  • When submitting the symposium, you will need to enter the names and affiliations of all authors involved in the symposium. In addition, you will need to indicate who will be presenting.

INDIVIDUAL (ORAL OR POSTER) PRESENTATION
  • ​You can submit an individual presentation, indicating if you would like to include your presentation in an oral session, poster session, or either.
  • When submitting an individual presentation,  you will be required to submit an abstract (max. 250 words). This abstract should contain the following information:
    • Background
    • Methods
    • Results
    • Conclusions
  • Accepted individual oral presentations will be grouped in thematically coherent sessions by the organizers.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
ORAL PRESENTATION
  • Oral presentations should last 15 minutes. There will be 5 minutes for questions.
  • Presentations should be sent to the chairs of each session beforehand. The chairs are either the organizers of the symposium or the first presenters of the session.
  • As a backup, we encourage all speakers to also have their presentation on a USB stick.
  • Presentations should be put on a Windows laptop, as there may be issues when connecting MAC laptops.

POSTER PRESENTATION
When preparing your poster, please keep the following information in mind:
  • The poster boards have a vertical layout and can fit A0 size posters (width: 84cm, height: 118 cm).
  • During the poster session, please find the poster board with your presentation ID number. Your presentation ID number will be communicated in the final program.
  • Please remove your poster as soon as your poster session ends.
  • You are free to decide how to design your poster and which information to put on your poster.
