Call for Papers

The scientific program will comprise both oral and poster presentations. Papers are invited in the above and related areas. Please note that the official deadline of September 15^th 2010 to submit oral contributions has passed.

Abstracts of all papers will be available to registered participants. The Book of Abstracts will be published on our web site and have an ISBN number and can thus be cited as an official publication.

Submission of Contributed Papers

Authors are requested to submit abstracts of their contributions and to complete the submission form. These abstracts should be written in English and submitted using the abstract template, which you can download here. Why do we want you to use this template? Well, we get a lot of abstracts in a very short period of time. This template has a built-in macro which allows us to process your abstract automatically which saves us a lot of time. If you are using office 2007, please save the file as a word 2003 document

The abstracts will be considered by a panel of referees for inclusion in the final programme. Note that only a limited number of papers can be presented orally. As posters and oral presentations have the same status, they will be refereed in the same way. The Scientific Committee will make a decision about the form of presentation. Authors will be informed whether or not their abstract has been accepted and in which form their paper is to be presented (oral or poster). Please note that any paper will only be included in the final programme if the author has formally registered and paid the fee before January 5^th 2011..

Each abstract should be mailed separately. Please add the submission form.
