Abstract submission Guidelines


Deadline for abstract submission has passed.

Notifications to all authors have been sent - please contact soe2007.scientific@congrex.com should you have any questions regarding your submission/notification.
 

Please read the instructions below carefully before you enter the online submission form available above.

All abstracts will be considered for Rapid Fire, Oral or Poster Presentation. Although the final decision will be made by the Scientific Programme Committee, you may indicate on the abstract form your preferred type of presentation. The Rapid Fire sessions will consist of short oral presentations selected from abstracts submitted as Free Paper and/or Poster. Each presentation will consist of a 4-minute presentation followed by a 2-minute discussion. Rigorous time keeping will be enforced. By submitting an abstract the authors thereby guarantee that the abstract submitted describes unpublished results and human and experimental studies have been undertaken with the appropriate ethics approval and official permission from the proper authorities. A special criterion for finally accepting abstracts will be their degree of innovation. In order to make their work as efficient and the selection as objective as possible, the following guidelines should be observed.
