The online form is configured in such a way that it does not accept abstracts that do not meet the established technical conditions. First of all, you need to make sure that the abstract does correspond to all the requirements. It is recommended to draft your abstract in a Word document so that you can use the Word Count function to fit the number of characters assigned.
3. The abstracts can be submitted and edited, if necessary, only before the deadline. Editing is possible by accessing the EDIT ABRSTRACT button. The deadline terms will not be extended. To checkup the deadline, we recommend to press the Website section. After the deadline, the system will be inactivated and no more abstracts will be accepted.
