  • Abstracts are submitted via the online abstract portal. Only abstracts submitted through the online form will be considered.
  • The abstract submission form is accessible only after you have registered to the conference and obtained a personal registration password, which you will use to log-in and access the abstract submission form. If you have a personal registration password from previous meetings, it may also be used. However, it must first be revalidated through the current conference registration process. Once revalidated, the password will grant you access to the abstract submission system. Please note that access to the abstract submission form is only granted after successful registration and password validation. Without a valid and current password, abstract submission will not be possible.

  • Each person is only allowed to submit and present one abstract. You can still be a co-author on other submitted abstracts.

  • Your abstract will be reviewed and considered for the conference program according to your preference from the available options. The Scientific Organizing Committee reserves the right to make final assignments of abstracts to either of the presentation formats listed above.

  • When submitting your abstract you will be asked to select what presentation type you want your abstract to be considered for E-poster, Flash talk or Oral presentation. 
  • Types of presentations: 

Oral presentation: A 10-minute short talk oral presentation of your abstract in a scientific session, with additional 3 mins for questions from the audience and answers.

Flash talk and Poster within sessions:  A swift (1 minute) oral summary of your poster as part of a scientific session, followed by a presentation of your printed poster at the end of the session and during the coffee break.

E-Poster: an electronic on-screen presentation of your poster, will take place during a dedicated poster session on Tuesday, February 24 at the Pavilion Hall, Herods Eilat Hotel. You are required to present your E-Poster in person.

  • You can review and update your abstract as many times as you wish until October 8th, 2025.  No updates and/or abstract withdrawals are possible after October 8th, 2025.

 

  • The number of abstracts that will be selected for Flash talks will be ~ 500 and all the rest will be considered for E-posters.

 

  • Expenses for travel, accommodation and registration fees, are the responsibility of each presenter.

General Guidelines

  • For a smooth submission, please prepare your abstract in Word, then copy and paste the information in the appropriate cells in the online form. You can also write directly in the textbox.
  • Abstracts should be in English and should not exceed 250 words.
  • Abstract title should not exceed 25 words.
  • Special characters are supported.
  • There will be an option to attach a pdf file of your full paper in addition to the textual abstract submission above.
  • You will be asked to specify author/s and affiliation/s when submitting the abstract.
  • Please mark if your submission is for Oral presentation, Flash talk or E-poster presentation.
  • You will be asked to provide the presenter name, title (Principal Investigator, Research Assistant, Postdoc, PhD student, MSc student, Other___), PI name (if applicable), University/Institute.
  • For the E-poster submitters: Please choose the topic from a list of 43 topics.
  • For Oral presentation and Flash talk presentation you will be also asked to provide the SAC name selection first and then respective session name (1st, 2nd and 3rd choices) from a drop down list.
  • Invited speakers are requested to submit their abstract by selecting corresponding session from the list of sessions.
  • Please note that the oral presentation slots are limited. In case your abstract will not be chosen for oral presentation (option A), it will automatically be considered for the flash talks & poster (Option B) and/or e-poster presentation (Option C).
