Talk submission

Deadline: 15 March 2026

Submission Guidelines

Each participant will be allowed to submit only one contribution as a presenter (either a symposium talk, regular talk, or poster). Being a chair does not count toward this limit. This also does not exclude the possibility of being a non-presenting co-author on multiple submissions.

Abstracts should include the standard elements, that is, Introduction, Method, Results, and Conclusion. These sections do not need to be explicitly labelled. Please ensure that your abstract contains a clear description of your rationale and methods. In the case where work is still in progress (e.g., ongoing data collection), please make this clear when writing about your results by using appropriate language, such as by writing in the present tense or indicating that results are preliminary.

Key Information

A regular talk is an oral presentation with accompanying slides consisting of 15 minutes talk + 3 minutes questions. This type of contribution is ideal for multi-study papers or to present results of larger projects. Regular talks will be grouped in sessions with 4 to 5 talks, typically addressing a similar theme. There will be up to 80 regular talks available.

Submission Requirements

​​​​​​​For each submission, please include:

● Title (max 150 characters with spaces)

● Presenter and any co-author(s): Name, affiliation, and email address

● Abstract (max 1250 characters with spaces)

● Keywords (max 5)

Review Process

Submissions will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. The main criteria for acceptance will be the scientific quality of the proposals/submissions, followed by the diversity of the topics (to ensure an even representation of themes in the conference) and geographic representation. For symposia, we will also consider the diversity of speakers (different universities and geographic locations) as well gender balance of the proposed panel.
