500–800 words
1 page maximum
Official template required
-
Identify the work and its authors
Replace the title and author placeholders. Check author order and affiliations with your coauthors. Use only the main organization name and identify the presenter with an email address.
-
Explain the research clearly
Introduce the problem, state the aim, explain the methods, present key results and discussion, then finish with the conclusion. Use specific findings wherever possible.
-
Check the evidence and the layout
Cite other studies when you use their findings. Label and cite any figures or tables in the text. Check the final page in Word before submitting.
-
Submit through your dashboard
Create a participant account and use the official submission portal. Email submissions are not accepted. Each participant may submit at most two abstracts; submission and conference registration are separate.
Suggested structure from the abstract template
Use the template's guidance to balance the sections:
- Introduction: about 5–7 lines.
- Aim: about 3–5 lines.
- Methodology: about 7–12 lines.
- Results and discussion: about 10–15 lines.
- Conclusion: about 4–6 lines.
These are preparation guidelines. The final abstract must meet both the word limits and the one-page limit.

Use the official poster structure
Keep the accepted title, authors and affiliations accurate. Populate the abstract, objectives, materials and methods, results and discussion, conclusion and reference sections. Include acknowledgments and disclosures where applicable.

Give your findings room to breathe
Use readable text, clear figure captions and good contrast. Replace every sample text box and keep the A0 portrait canvas unchanged.
-
Check the file before printing
Inspect dimensions, fonts, graphs and image quality at the intended print size. You may bring your printed poster or request advance printing through the dashboard for an additional fee.
-
Present at your assigned board
Follow the installation times in the final programme booklet. Mounting materials or tools are provided. Stay beside your poster throughout your assigned session and remove it by the following morning, checking the exact time with staff.
How do I arrange poster printing?
You can print the poster at home and bring it with you. Alternatively, to make your travel more convenient,
the conference organizers can print the poster on your behalf and deliver it to you at the registration desk.
To use this service, submit an advance printing request through your participant dashboard no later than 15
days before the conference begins. You are responsible for checking the content of the submitted file and
ensuring that it is suitable for printing.
On-site poster printing is not available. Exporting a PDF can help you proof your layout, but follow the dashboard's requirements for the file you submit.

Answers to common preparation questions.
Explore the full conference FAQAre the official templates compulsory?
The official abstract template is required. The presentation and poster templates are strongly recommended and are required for best-presenter award consideration.
Can I send an abstract by email?
No. Use the official submission portal through your participant dashboard. A user account is required; conference registration is a separate process.
Can I choose an oral presentation?
You may indicate your preference, but it is not guaranteed. The Organizer or Scientific Committee assigns the final presentation format.

A file alone does not fulfil the presentation requirement. Virtual participation requires prior written approval and live delivery. Confirm any exceptional arrangements with the Organizer.

Verify author order, affiliations and presenter contact details with your coauthors. Cite sources correctly, check permissions for reused material and include required disclosures.
