Call for Poster Abstracts

Participants are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations. These should give a brief description of the title and topic.

Please read the guidelines below and then click here to submit your extract online.

All abstracts will be assessed by members of the International Scientific Programme Committee. The assessors will judge the abstracts according to the relevance to CINP, standard of English, objectivity of statement, description of what was done, suitability of methods to aims, conclusions confirmed by objective results, ethics, scientific value, potential clinical value, originality of work and overall impression.

The deadline for poster submission is 5th December 2008.

Guidelines for Submission

  • Abstracts must be submitted in English.
  • The successful participant is committed to present their poster at the designated time slot allocated to them by the International Scientific Programme Committee.
  • Changes in authorship should be communicated to the International Scientific Programme Committee in order to ensure correct appearance in the printed programme.
  • If the original presenting author is unable to present, one of the co-authors should take over this responsibility
  • When participants are submitting a poster abstract, they must submit a completed registration form.
  • If the poster is not accepted the delegate will have the right to a full registration refund.

We encourage submitting authors to register via the online registration system along with the abstract submission. The acceptance of abstracts by the International Scientific Programme Committee does not imply any financial assistance or fee reduction.

Detailed information, guidelines, and recommendations for poster presentation, as well as time allocation, date, hour, and venue will be sent in due time to registered presenting authors.
