Submissions are limited to not more than two solicited abstracts and two contributed abstracts on which the submitter is the presenter. To cover COSPAR’s cost for processing abstracts, an administrative fee of €25 will be charged for each abstract submitted. The abstract submission fee is non-refundable and is not based on approval of your abstract submission or attendance at the Scientific Assembly. Refunds will not be issued for abstracts that are withdrawn. Any amendments within your abstract can be done free of charge using the online submission system. The only method of payment accepted for the abstract submission fee is by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express) through the abstract submission system. The abstract submission fee does not register you for the Scientific Assembly for which a separate registration fee, paid to the Local Organizing Committee, applies. All presenters must register in order to attend the Scientific Assembly.
Abstract Publication Abstracts of contributions accepted for presentation by the event organizers and by the Program Committee will be published online as ‘Accepted Abstracts’ of the respective session/event.
