       General Information

The Scientific Committee invites authors to submit abstracts to be considered for inclusion in the programme. Authors must follow the guidelines for abstract submission set out below. Abstracts not conforming to these guidelines will not be considered for presentation.

All abstracts must be submitted in English and must be presented in English at the meeting.

Submitted abstracts must be original. Abstracts previously published or presented at an international scientific meeting cannot be submitted.

All abstracts can be submitted only via this website. Please note that on the abstract submission website you have to 'register' first. Note that this is the registration to abstracts submission system, different from the one for regular participation registration - which can be found here: Personal Data Form. Each system has its own password!

Authors will have access to their incomplete abstracts by deadline and will have possibility to edit it. Please note that once you submit or withdraw your abstract you will have no possibility to edit it!

Authors will be notified about the delivery of their abstract by e-mail at the address indicated in the abstract automatically after its submission. Fill in the author’s e-mail address properly - these contact details will be used in further correspondence. 

Abstract will be reviewed by a panel of experts and selected on the basis of merit for oral or poster presentation. The time allotted for each oral presentation will depend on the session to which the abstract is allocated.

Notification of acceptance or rejection by the Scientific Committee will be on the web by April 18, 2008 and it will be mailed to the corresponding author until end of June 2008.

The authors of oral presentations will not receive the letters with the instructions including the date, time, place of their lecture. All instructions will be on the website.

Accepted abstracts will be published in a Book of Abstracts which will be distributed at the Congress.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be allowed to pay advanced registration fee by April 30, 2008. If their registration fee is not paid by 15th  May 2008, they will be charged standard fee.

The registration fee must be paid by 15th May 2008 . In case the fee is not paid, the abstract will not be printed in the Book of Abstracts.

In case of the abstract acceptance the presenting author is expected to attend the Congress and present the abstract in the session at the time decided upon by the Programme (Scientific) Committee.
