Due to difficulties with the submission form we have decided to extrend the abstract submission until April 10^th.    

Guidelines for Abstracts 

• Abstracts must be submitted via the online submission form published on the symposium official website before the submission deadline. Abstracts sent by post, fax or email will not be accepted.
• All abstracts must be written in English.
• Only abstracts within the scope of the symposium and related to the TOPICS listed for abstracts submission will be considered.

The abstract need to be structured as follows:
- Introduction/Objectives
- Materials and methods
- Results
- Conclusions

For Case Reports you can structure your abstract as follows:
- Introduction/Background
- Case description
- Discussion/Conclusion

• Abstract length: 350 words maximum
• One image, graphic or table is allowed.
• Please ensure that your abstract does not contain spelling, grammar or scientific mistakes, because in case of being accepted the text would be reproduced exactly as submitted. Linguistic accuracy is your responsibility.
• Abstracts submitted to be considered need to be original works, which means that the content of the abstract cannot be published before.
• During the submission process authors will be able to indicate their presentation preference (Oral Presentation or Poster Presentation). This preference will be considered, but the final decision about the presentation format will be determined by the Scientific Committee.
• All the abstracts submitted will receive a notification about the acceptance/rejection and the format of the presentation.
• All authors must have consented to be included as co-authors, have read and approved the abstract and its contents, and agree with the results stated.
• If your abstract is accepted, at least one of the authors will need to register and pay the corresponding fee to attend the Symposium to present the contribution. Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment by the presenting author to attend the conference and present the findings. If accepted, the presenting author will be required to register on a due date.
• Authors would be able to withdraw a previously submitted abstract up to 15 days after the notification of acceptance by sending an email to the scientific secretariat.
• Accepted contributions presented at the conference will be published in the online publication that will be hosted in the Symposium website.

Submission process
• Please, for a first submission access the online submission form by click on “Abstract submission” in the top menu.
• Carefully complete the details requested in every session during the submission process.
• If you have successfully submitted your abstract, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt by email. If no confirmation is received, the abstract cannot be considered as successfully submitted. If you leave the system without finishing the process all data will be lost. Please contact the scientific secretariat if you have not received the acknowledgement of receipt by email after the submission.
