To get more information on the different symposia, see the webpage of the congress or you can download a description of the different symposia here. The symposia are composed of invited lectures, a (limited) set of oral presentations (selected from the abstracts) and a poster session.

The scientific committee of this event invites participants to submit an abstract to two of the symposia presented above (a main choice and a second choice). The preference for oral / poster and the choice of thematic sessions are options indicated on the abstract submission form. You can also submit 2 abstracts: one for an oral and one for a poster.

Abstract submission is possible until March 31st, 2023. Submissions will be evaluated by the scientific committee and you will be informed at the end of May 2023 if your abstract has been accepted and in which form (oral or poster).
