Submit your research

Create an account on Sciforum if you do not have one, then click on ‘New Submission’ on the upper-right corner of the window, or by clicking on ‘Submit Abstract’ at the top of this webpage. Indicate what thematic area is best suited for your research.

• Submit an abstract in English (maximum 300 words). The deadline to submit your abstract is 4 June 2023.
• Upon submission, you can select if you wish to be considered for an oral presentation or a poster presentation.
• Following assessment by the Selection Committee and the Chairs, you will be notified by 3 July 2023 in a separate email whether your contribution has been accepted for oral presentation.
• Please note that, in order to finalize the scientific program in due time, at least one registration by any of the authors, denoted as Covering Author, is required to cover the presentation and publication of any accepted abstract. Covering Author registration deadline is 23 July 2023. Your abstract will be withdrawn if your registration is not complete by this date.

Oral Presentations

Oral Presentations will be given in-person. If a selected speaker cannot attend in person to give their oral presentation, they forfeit their right to present.

All presentations must be sent to the Conference Organizers before the day of their presentation.

Poster Presentation

There will be two types of Poster Presentations: in-person and online. The in-person poster presentations will take place in the 3 local hubs (Singapore, Basel, and Toronto). Once your abstract is approved as poster, we will ask you to confirm whether you will be attending in-person or online.
