Reviewing

All abstracts will be reviewed by Scientific Committees, which will make recommendations as to the type of presentation (oral or poster).

The Committees will allocate papers to oral and poster sessions according to:
- Assessment of the abstract by reviewers (with blinding of authors)
- Innovation and importance for the field
- Topicality and ‘fit’ with the program
- Program constraints
The final decision rests with the Scientific Committees. The Committees reserve the right to specify the format via which the presentation is to be made. The number of oral presentations is limited.
