What happens after the submission?

Once your abstract has been received by our conference committee, a team of fellow PGR students will review abstracts . We will send the notification of acceptance by 2^nd September 2024.

In some cases, we may ask you to resubmit your abstract after you have addressed the feedback.

The team of reviewers reserve the right to make the final decision on your presentation type. We will do our best to consider your preference for either the oral or poster presentation. However, the decision will be solely based on the number of submissions and the conference timetable.
