Abstract submission is closed.

 

Would you like to be part of the scientific programme and show us your research?

Please submit an abstract and you will have the opportunity to present your work during the 2^nd HBP Student Conference. Your presentation will include either a brief oral presentation, a poster, or both.

All submissions will be evaluated by the Scientific Programme Committee with regard to their relevance for the conference in terms of topics and areas of interest, their scientific merit, correctness, and the quality of presentation.

 

Please note that registration for the conference is mandatory.

Submission guidelines:

 

• Authorship:

Please accurately include all co-authors and their affiliations. If in doubt whether a person's contributions should or should not be considered as authorship, please refer to http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf.

 

• Abstract body:

The abstract body has a limit of one page, an extra page can be used for figures and bibliography. Given that it is an interdisciplinary conference, formatting of abstracts organised according to the IMRaD format [Introduction/Motivation, Methods, Results and Discussion], with several sentences addressing each of these elements, is highly recommended.
Abstracts should be formatted in Arial font size 10 with 1.5 lines spacing, justified.

References should be included at the end of the abstract. A reasonable amount of illustrations, figures and tables may be included within the abstract body. It is allowed to add acknowledgements to the abstract.

Abstracts may be edited up to the submission deadline.

In general, submissions of completed research are encouraged. However, submissions may also contain research in progress and, in particular, abstracts that demonstrate research plans and proposals, i.e., the idea, aims, hypotheses and possible implications of the proposed research.

Poster guidelines:

 

• The recommended poster size is A0 (841 x 1189 mm, portrait format). The minimum poster size is A2 (420 x 594 mm).
• All posters displaying results from HBP-funded research groups must contain the HBP logo and the European Union logo.
• The following information should be included on the poster: Authors' names, surnames, and affiliations.
• Posters should be clear and easy to read. Type size should be sufficiently large to allow people to read from two meters away.
• Posters should be printed by the authors prior to the start of the conference. There is no printing possibility on site. All other materials required for putting up the posters will be available at the conference.
