You will have the opportunity to indicate your areas of interest through the online abstract submission process.
Abstract Format
Please CLICK HERE to download the abstract template.
Please keep the total length of your abstract to within one page of the template. The abstract must be submitted in the template provided as a word document and must adhere to the guidelines detailed therein and should outline the aims and content of the presentation.
Presentation Formats
Oral presentations will be allocated 45 (Plenary); 25 (Keynote) or 15 minutes (Session), which will accommodate the presentation followed by short discussion.
Posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference. Each poster will be allocated a 1 metre wide x 2 meters high board and the poster must fit within this area. The boards are covered in a front runner material which are suitable for Velcro (supplied by the organisers).
You will have the opportunity to select your preferred format during the online abstract submission process.
Abstract Review
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference organising committee who will do their best to accommodate the wishes of the submitters for oral or poster presentations. However, it is expected that due to the large number of submissions that some requests for oral presentations will have to be assigned as posters. If your submission is not accepted for an oral presentation it is not a reflection of the quality of your submission but rather due to time constraints and the need to ensure all aspects of the conference topics are adequately covered. The organisers reserve the right to reject submitted abstracts that are poorly written, do not follow the submission guidelines and/or are outside the scope of the conference. Notification of acceptance will be emailed by 9th Septebmer.
Audiovisual Equipment
Each room at the conference venue will have a minimum of the following:
- Dataprojector
- Laptop
- Screen
Presenters should bring their presentation to the conference on a memory stick. A technician will be onsite to load your presentation. However you will be emailed 2-3 weeks prior to the conference by the organisers who will ask for you to email your presentation if you have it ready.
Presenters Registration
All presenters, other than those specifically sponsored, or those advised by the Conference Committee as being registration fee exempt, are required to register and pay for the conference. Presenters also need to meet their own travel and accommodation costs. Presenters need to register and pay by 18 November 2016 otherwise their paper risks being removed from the programme.
Re-Accessing your Abstract Submission
When you submit your abstract you will be given an access key. If you wish to submit a new abstract or replace an existing abstract you can do this through the abstract link prior to the closing date of 31 August 2016.
Full Papers
The guidelines for presenters to submit full papers will be available on this conference website by November 2016. Please note submissions must be limited to 6 pages within the template and inclusion in the International Journal of Nanotechnology is by strict selection. Authors will be advised the outcome of their submission in the weeks following the conference.
Please ensure you join our mailing list to receive updates and reminders for the call for papers deadlines.
