We recommend using word-processing software (for example Word) for editing your abstract and counting the number of words. Typing your text directly into the field is not recommended because:
a: You will not be able to see the abstract after pressing the Submit button
b: You will not receive a copy
- Abstract text (Word file, font: Arial 12)
– limited to 350 words including acknowledgements (fewer if a figure is included in the abstract).
A maximum of 3 graphs/images are allowed per abstract and each image will count as 50 words towards the total word count. There is a maximum of 3 tables allowed per abstract. Each table should be less than 10 rows x 10 columns. Each row of the table will be counted as 10 words against your 350 words total.
- Young scientists (< 30 years) are encouraged to present their work. Scientific Committee will choose the best presentations and three awards are granted.
