Presentations and abstract submission

Those wishing to present at the meeting should start thinking about an abstract, to be submitted by Monday 30 January.

There will be four categories of presentation to choose from:15-minute talks, 5-minute talks, posters and 5-minute videos.

Consider whether you need 15 minutes to get your message across. Preference will be given to new speakers and/or significantly new research. For many projects it is possible to deliver the key message clearly and succinctly in just 5 minutes.

Posters and videos will be available to view throughout the meeting in spaces adjacent to the lecture theatre.
