* Please note that the Late-Breaking Abstract submission is solely for abstracts with late-breaking data and not for abstracts submitted “late”. Any “late” abstracts will be rejected outright. In order to fulfil the criteria for a late-breaking abstract you must enter the reasons why your abstract is a late-breaking abstract. Failure to do so, will mean that the abstract will not be reviewed. Submit your Late-Breaking abstract at [email protected].

The submitter is the main contact for any questions or information we have regarding an abstract.

All correspondence relating to the submission will be directed to the submitter, and the submitter should distribute to all co-authors/presenting author if needed.

All accepted abstracts will be published on SIU's eLearning platform, SIU Academy. Publications imply transfer of copyright of the article to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.

Please make sure to identify the presenting author of the abstract on the submission form, and to inform the SIU Scientific Programme Office if there is any change of presenting author.

The presenting authors of all accepted submissions will be required to register by June 12, 2020. After this date, the abstract(s) of presenting authors who have not paid their registration fees will be excluded from the programme as well as from the SIU Abstract Book. Thus, it is important to provide us with a valid email address so we can contact authors with the registration details after acceptance of the abstracts.

All expenses such as registration, visa, airfare, lodging, etc. associated with the submission and presentation of an abstract are the responsibility of the presenter.
