Abstracts

Abstracts for contributed lecture and poster presentations are now invited. The organising committee is especially interested in receiving abstracts for presentations form PhD research students and other early-career researchers. Authors should indicate whether they have a preference for lecture or poster presentation, but the final decision on acceptance and presentation format will be made by the organising committee.

Abstracts should be a maximum length of one page (A4),  and formatted according to the abstract template,  as a Microsoft Word file ,or ‘.rtf’ attachment. Abstract subissions for oral presentations are now closed.

Poster abstract submission has been extended until 15 February.

Email abstracts to A/Prof Damien Arrigan
