Q: If I submit an abstract do I have to attend the Conference?
A: It is expected that at least one author of the accepted abstract attends the conference to present the work and answer questions. Only abstracts of registered participants will be scheduled in the Scientific Programme.

Q: I have submitted an abstract, when will I know if it has been accepted?
A: Notifications will be sent to the abstract author after all abstracts have been reviewed by the Scientific Committee. Every effort is made to conclude this process within one month of the abstract submission deadline. In the case of an extension, an extended abstract submission deadline will be agreed and circulated to authors.

Q: How can I make changes to an abstract I have already submitted?
A: You may log into the Abstract Submission system with your username and password to make changes to your abstract until the submission deadline date. You cannot submit any changes to your abstract after this date. You are welcome to bring a more up-to-date abstract to the Conference.

Q: If my abstract is accepted, where will it be published?
A: Information on published abstracts will be made available soon.
