The two-page Extended Abstracts must be submitted online as Microsoft Word documents following the format of the abstract template

The Extended Abstracts should:

• contain between 500 and 800 words of text, and include supporting tables, figures, and equations where appropriate.

Authors are encouraged to address one or more of the identified United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in their abstracts.

While there is no limit to the number of Extended Abstracts you can submit, the Local Organising Committee may limit the number of presentations per first author to one.

Presenters of accepted Extended Abstracts are required to register and pay to attend the Conference as a delegate for at least the day they are presenting.

Acceptance of Extended Abstracts does not imply any payment from the Local Organising Committee. Authors must arrange and pay their own accommodation, travel and all other expenses necessary to attend the Conference.

Acceptance or otherwise is at the discretion of the Local Organising Committee.
