Miniposters must follow strict guidelines, as presented below. Miniposters that do not follow the guidelines will be automatically excluded.

​

• Submission deadline: expired on 7 February 2018

​​

• Submitted miniposters will be evaluated by the local scientific committee, and applicants informed of acceptance in due course.

​

• Miniposters will only be considered for presentation and included in the final programme upon confirmation of the presenter registration until  March 1st  (early bird registration deadline).

 

• Each participant can only submit one miniposter as first/corresponding author/presenter. However, this does not limit the submission as co-authors of miniposters (rules for formatting presented below apply to both cases).

 

• All miniposters will be presented during the different scientific sections of the meeting in a 3-minute presentation (maximum of 6 slides, including acknowledgments, that should be delivered to the organization in the day before that of the presentation).

 

• Some of the miniposters will be selected for a 15-minute oral presentation and the authors will be notified by e-mail. Selection will be made by the local scientific committee.
