Firm abstract submission deadline: February 15th 2020

The submission form will be offline after this deadline - abstracts will not be accepted after this deadline. Thank you.

Presentation Format

When submitting an abstract, please be mindful of the type of presentation you would like to make and the associated submission deadline: 

All abstracts must be submitted via the submission platform.

  • Poster presentation - No live poster presentations will be given. Poster format must be either PDF or a rotating PowerPoint deck with audio or audio/visual (five slides/five minutes maximum). Create an informative and appealing poster that summarizes your research project. Posters are the preferred format for contributions that are strongly data-based, and therefore particularly suited for graphic or visual presentation. Q & A will occur through email. All talks will be accessible online for three months after the meeting. Submission deadline: February 15th 2021.

  • Individual oral presentation - No live oral presentation will be given. All oral presentations must be prerecorded and last 10-15 minutes maximum. See the instruction page for more detail on how to record your computer screen and the image of a webcam simultaneously. Deliver a 10-15 minute talk that summarizes your research project. Oral presentations are the preferred format to discuss theoretical points and share your enthusiasm regarding your research project. The conference committee will group individual presentations according to their theme. Q & A will occur through email. All talks will be accessible online for three months after the meeting. Submission deadline: February 15th 2021.

  • Symposium - Symposium presentation will be given live during the days of the conference. Bring your lab and collaborators to deliver a series of three to four presentations totalizing 40-50 minutes under a coherent theme (including 8 minutes of Q+A discussion with your audience). When submitting for a symposium, please submit each individual presentation under the “oral presentation within a symposium” section, as well as a general description of your symposium under the “symposium” section. All talks will be accessible online for three months after the meeting. Submission deadline: February 15th 2021.

Abstracts Acceptance Decision

Notifications of acceptance will be sent after the submission deadline. Abstracts will be judged by a panel of expert (composed of professors and graduate students) according to the criteria of scientific merit and clarity of expression.

General Guidelines 

  • All abstracts must be submitted via the submission platform.

  • Preliminary and completed research projects are eligible for submission provided that the research project has not been presented in other conferences.

  • Abstracts may be written in French or English and presentations at the conference may be given in either language.

  • Submission deadline for all abstracts is February 15th 2020. Abstracts submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.

  • The presenting author for each accepted submission must register for the conference by March 15th in order to be included in the conference program.

  • You may be first author on two presentations maximum. There is no limit on co-authorships.

  • When using standard abbreviations and symbols, define each one when it is used for the first time.

  • Abstracts will be published in a proceeding booklet, therefore verify abstracts carefully before submitting. We do not accept re-submission.

  • Tables and/or pictures will not be accepted.
