The presenting author/s of all accepted abstracts must register and pay the applicable registration fee by Wednesday 31 July 2024. If registration isn’t completed by this date, the organising committee reserve the right to remove the presentation from the program.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

In evaluating each abstract, reviewers will be aware of authors or institutions involved with the work described in the abstract. 

The reviewers will assign accepted abstracts either to oral or poster presentation.

Notification of the outcome of the review and acceptances will be sent to the contact person (this should be the first presenting author) in early June 2024.

Only the contact person will be notified of acceptance or non- acceptance, and it is their responsibility to notify all other authors about the outcome of the reviewers’ decision.

For all accepted abstracts, further details regarding the oral presentation (PowerPoint presentation) and poster presentation (poster size, format, style and layout etc) will be communicated to the contact person as appropriate.

The duration of each oral presentation will be determined by the committee.

All presenting authors (maximum of two) must be registered for the conference to be able to present the abstract. The deadline for registration is Wednesday 31 July 2024.

Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference program only if the presenting author has registered for the symposium.
