Instructions for abstracts Submission


To obtain a username and a password, please access the registration form menu and fill out all the required data. You will then receive an e-mail containing a username and a password to access the abstract submission platform.

After accessing the platform, you will be directed to your "Personal Area", where you should choose “Create new Symposia”. The first time an abstract is submitted, it will stay in a rough sketch state. The objective of this stage is for you to verify if all is well with the data you have entered. You are then asked to either save the data as “Rough Sketch” or to “Save and Submit” it.

Choosing “Save as rough sketch” means that your abstract is not submitted yet and you can access the platform at a later moment and edit it; choosing the option “Save and Submit” means that you can no longer edit your abstract, only visualize it. In either case an e-mail message will be sent to you informing you of the stage of the process. You can repeat the step “Create new abstract”, thus submitting more than one abstract.
