Call for Abstracts

Applicants are invited to share their scientific results at the event as a poster, by first submitting an abstract with their application. In addition 14 short talks and 10 workshop talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Short talks (ST) will be of 15 (12+3) minutes and workshop talks of 20 (17+3) minutes.

We encourage you to present unpublished data. To ensure open scientific communication, ABC2023 will follow rules established at Gordon Research Conferences:

  • All information presented or discussed at ABC2023, whether in a formal talk, poster session, or discussion, should be considered as private communication.  Prior to quoting or publishing any such information presented at a conference in any publication, written or electronic, written approval of the contributing member must first be obtained. 
  • The audio or video recording of lectures by any means, the photography of slide or poster material, and printed or electronic quotes from papers, presentations and discussion at a conference without written consent of the contributing member is prohibited. 
  • Scientific publications are not to be prepared as emanating from the conferences.  Authors are requested to omit references to the conferences in any publication, written or electronic. 

 

These restrictions apply to each ABC2023 particpant, and are intended to cover social networks, blogs, tweets or any other publication, distribution, communication or sharing of information presented or discussed at the conference.  Guests are not permitted to attend the conference lectures, or poster sessions.  Each member of a conference acknowledges and agrees to these restrictions when registration is accepted and as a condition of being permitted to attend ABC2023.

Posters will be displayed on poster boards in a dedicated area at the venue, and should not exceed 120 cm height by 90 cm width (equal to 47 inches height by 35 inches width).

Abstracts must be submitted via the online participant portal before the deadline of January 6th.

Accepted abstracts will be searchable on the Congress website around the time of the event, and collected in a digital abstract book.
