Presentation Format

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

All abstracts must be submitted via the submission platform. Submission will be open on January 1st and close on February 27th, 2026. The submission deadline is the same for all types of presentations.

Poster

Presentation

Ideal for data-driven research, poster presentations provide a visually engaging platform to present your findings and stimulate meaningful discussions.

 

Individual

Oral Presentation

Share your theoretical insights or research findings in a focused session that allows you to connect with an engaged audience and showcase your enthusiasm for your work.

 

Symposium

Organize a collaborative session with your lab or colleagues. A symposium consists of three to four presentations under a shared theme, lasting 40–60 minutes, including an 8-minute Q&A session with the audience. Symposium presentations will be accessible online for three months after the conference.

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. Honours students that do not have results are able to identify expected results in the abstract at the time of submission but must present completed results at the conference. Abstracts with no results will not be accepted.  

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

  • You may be the presenting author on only one presentation. 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 or modifications after the submission deadline. 

  • Tables and/or pictures will not be accepted. 

  • If you have any questions about the submission guidelines, please email Giovanni and Stefanie, our Peer Review directors, at submission@icp-cip.com.
