ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES

ABSTRACT FOR SYMPOSIUM

• The symposium is a presentation comprising a maximum of FOUR (4) speakers.
• The symposia must be data-driven and directly relevant to mental health and psychiatry. Each speaker will present perspectives on different aspects of a topic or other views of the same topic.
• The symposium is 90 minutes. Thus, depending on the number of speakers, each speaker will have a 15 – 20 minute presentation time.
• The abstract proposer is responsible for providing a general summary of the symposium, collecting the abstracts from each speaker and then submitting the complete proposal to the conference organizers.

E-POSTER PRESENTATION

• Posters are hypothesis-driven, and the authors will present their findings from significant ongoing or completed research. As the presentation will be in the form of an e-poster, successful applicants will be given guidelines on preparing their e-poster.
• Presenters are required to record their presentation, which consists of them presenting their work. Each presenter will be given TEN (10) minutes to present.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please indicate whether the abstract submission is for a symposium or poster presentation and use the correct forms. The e-posters will be available on the conference website throughout the conference. All conference participants will be able to see them.

The SIX (6) best e-poster submissions will be called to present their work during the conference.

A panel of judges will then select three of the best e-poster presentations and award prize money to the winners.

To provide additional value to all abstract submitters, all accepted abstracts will be published in Medicine & Health Journal. Please indicate in the forms if the presenters agree to have their presentation(s) published.

Presenters of accepted abstracts must register for the conference before it begins. Each presenting author is responsible for his/her registration fee(s) and travel and accommodation costs. Presenters who cannot attend should arrange for another individual to present the oral paper/poster and inform the secretariat as soon as possible.
