Step 2: Select a topic and a type of communication
Please select the topic of your abstract, it will be helpful to the Scientific Committee. You may also choose the kind of communication you want to propose: an oral presentation, a poster presentation or both oral and poster presentations.
Step 3: Title

- Do not use small capitals or capitals in the title
- Do not use asterisks or notes

Step 4: Authors
You must create the list of your authors before submitting your abstracts.
Once created, you may select the authors for each abstract, change their order (initially the authors are in an alphabetical order), and select the speaker as well as the first author.
The initials of the first name should be written as follows: Jean-Pierre becomes JP., Mary-Jane becomes MJ., etc... Do not use hyphens (-).

Some problems may appear due to incompatibility between Mac and PC. We strongly recommend that you don't use any Greek letters but their plain counterparts: "Delta" instead of "Δ ", etc... (alpha, beta, gamma, micro, ...).
