• Only complete submissions will be reviewed.

Review and decisions

Abstracts undergo peer review within the selected topic.

Main criteria: clarity, methodology, quality of data, originality, and relevance.

The Scientific Committee decides on:

• Acceptance or rejection
• Presentation format (oral or poster)

Notification of decisions will be sent by mid-December.

Note: Acceptance does not include registration. The presenting author must register by March 5, 2027.

Presentation formats

Detailed instructions will follow with the acceptance letter.

Responsibilities of the submitting author

By submitting, the corresponding author confirms that:

• All co-authors approve the abstract and author list.
• The abstract text is anonymous (no names or affiliations in the body).
• The work has not been published or presented in essentially the same form before, unless clearly stated.
• If accepted, the work will be presented within the official scientific programme.
• The abstract may be published in the abstract book/online programme.
• No changes to the abstract text are possible after the submission deadline.
• At least one author will register in full to attend and present the paper at the conference.
