Abstract Book
All the abstracts will be published both in the abstract book and on the conference website. Since the organisers cannot take the responsibility of revising the language of the abstracts, we would greatly appreciate it if, when needed, you would have the language checked yourself. Thus, responsibility for the quality of the language remains with the presenter.
If you do not make any changes in your original abstract, you do not have to resubmit it.
