Researchers and graduate students from low-income and lower-middle income countries can apply for a conference bursary to cover the cost of their travel, accommodation and conference registration. Places are strictly limited. The scientific committee will award the conference bursaries based solely on the quality of the abstract submitted.

The deadline for bursary applications has now passed.

Abstract submissions are now closed. A significant number of talks will be selected from registrants.

Abstracts will only be accepted as Word documents and cannot be accepted in any other form. Abstracts will be selected for either oral or poster presentation. When submitting an abstract, authors agree to accept either form of presentation, but may indicate a preference.

The abstract text including title, authors, affiliations, and references should not exceed 400 words. Please submit the same abstract only once (no resubmission). Confirmation of receipt of your abstract submission will be sent by email to the corresponding author.

Instructions on formatting your abstract are available here.

Abstracts selected for oral poster presentations will be contacted personally.

The time allowed for selected oral presentations will be 10 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for discussion.
