All abstracts must be submitted through the online form. Logging within the electronic platform is required prior to abstract submission.

English is the default language for the conference. Written content (abstracts, slides, and posters) needs to be in English, and presenters should be able to participate in an English-based live discussion.

The maximum number of abstract submissions per author is 2.

All presenters will be required to register for the conference by 30 July 2021. Presenters who do not register by this date will not be included in the conference programme. We will issue acceptance notices by June 21 so you can proceed with registering. 

Presenters will need to register for the entire conference, as one-day rates will not be available. Q&A sessions may be scheduled at any time during the conference program, from Monday 13 September to Wednesday 15 September. Oral presentations will be pre-recorded but speakers should plan to be present for live discussion sessions. In most cases, the Scientific Committee will not be able to accommodate special scheduling requests due to the large number of speakers and the cascading effect that any changes have on the rest of the program.

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to ask authors of oral abstracts to change their presentation format. Specifically, authors submitting abstracts for oral presentation may, in some cases, be invited to present a poster instead. We will notify you well in advance of any such change.

We are inviting abstracts for two different types of presentations:

Oral presentation – These are presentations submitted by attendees for inclusion in a regular oral session alongside other contributed presentations, which are grouped together by the Scientific Committee based on a common topic. Presentations will be pre-recorded and should be 12 minutes in length; all speakers will have a chance to do a live group Q&A during the main days of the conference. 

Poster presentation – Posters will be displayed online. Authors will have the option to submit a short (<3 minute) video explaining the poster and discussing their work; all poster authors will have a chance for text discussion with conference attendees. 

• All abstracts must be submitted in English.
• Abstracts will be limited to a maximum of 200 words.
• You may provide up to five keywords.
• Figures may be inserted, provided that the size of the whole document (text plus figure) does not exceed one page. Figures and tables should be less than 4 cm in height. If two or more figures or tables are included, please arrange them in parallel horizontally.
• Submit a one page Word doc./docx. using the template that can be downloaded here.
• It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that the abstract text does not contain typos or grammatical errors.
• All authors named in the abstract should be listed in the order you would like them to appear in the conference programme.
• Please select the most appropriate topic from the list in the submission form.

Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee with regard to scientific quality and relevance to the Conference.

Notification of acceptance or rejection of abstracts will be issued by 21st June 2021.

Registration: As noted above, all presenters are required to register for the conference by 30 July 2021. Presenters who do not register by this date risk having their presentation excluded from the conference program. 

Scheduling: All presentations and posters will be available on-demand. The Scientific Committee will schedule all live discussion times for Q&A sessions. Oral presentations will be grouped by topic, and the Committee will make every effort to ensure optimal placement of each speaker. Q&A sessions may be scheduled any time during the conference, from Monday 13 September to Wednesday 15 September. In most cases, we will be unable to accommodate special scheduling requests except in the event of an oversight or scheduling conflict. We will post the detailed schedule on the conference website in mid-August 2021 and notify speakers of when their live discussion session will be. 

Presentation specs: We will post detailed specifications for each presentation type on the conference website prior to the deadline for submitting presentations and posters (authors will also be notified by email).

Please do not submit an abstract unless you are committed to participating in the conference. Cancellations impose a serious burden and negatively impact the overall quality of the conference program. We ask that speakers try to submit their oral presentation or poster even if they will be unable to participate in live discussion. If extenuating circumstances force you to cancel your participation and you are unable to find a co-author or colleague to give your presentation on your behalf, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible at secretary@euismet2021.eu so we can update the program accordingly.
