Abstract properties

Please use one of the following templates for abstract submission: doc file or docx file.
The abstract must include:

  • The title;
  • The author’s list (presenter underlined), and their affiliation;
  • Do not use special characters. For example, α should be written alpha; Otherwise, it might show as a question mark.
  • There must be no more than 300 words in the abstract;
  • Do not include references, figures, or tables.


Short talks

PhD students who would like to present their work at the conference can choose to either give a 10-minute talk or present a poster during the abstract submission process. If you wish to give a talk, please select “Talk or Short presentation” during the registration process. Depending on the number of participants, you may be selected to present a 3-minute talk instead (without slides). In addition to the talk, you are always required to present a poster.

If you are selected for a talk, you will be contacted about a week after registration closes, around the end of March. At that time, you will be informed if you have been selected to give a short talk or an elevator pitch.

The talk: Your presentation must be in English, and you will have 10 minutes to present followed by 5 minutes for audience questions. You are allowed to use a PowerPoint presentation, and we will ask you to send us your slides before the conference.

The short presentation: Also in English, and should be a 3-minute presentation of your thesis, similar to “Ma Thèse en 180 secondes” without slides. The audience will have a few minutes to ask questions afterward.
