Abstract submission and proceeding information > Guidelines

1) Create an account on “sciencesconf”

Before submitting your abstract(s) it is necessary to create an account to access the submission part of the web-site (If you already participated to a conference using the "sciencesconf" system, you already have a login in the database) :

• click  on "create account" on the left panel,
• follow the instructions (name, e-mail and password), note that name and password are case sensitive,
• an e-mail with an activation link will be e-mailed to you within minutes,
• in this e-mail, click on the link to activate your account and enter your dedicated space.

Once your account is created, you can access your account and start your submission. You will be able to update the paper details or upload a modified version of the paper as many times as you wish until the submission deadline by logging-in again to your account.

2) Abstract format

A two-page extended abstract for the comprehensive electronic program (provided to attendees at the meeting on a memory stick) is required at submission. This extended abstract should also contain a short abstract (no more than 100 words) for the program booklet.

Format as follows:

• Microsoft Word or compatible format only.
• Typed in a legible 11 point Calibri font with at 2.5-cm margins.
• The first page contains the text with the title at the top of the page followed by the author's names and affiliations.
• The text starts with the 100-word abstract in bold 10-pt Calibri font.
• The remaining of the text is in 11 pt Calibri font.
• The second page contains supporting tables, figures, and their captions.

We strongly recommend that you use the dedicated template since any abstract which does not follow the guidelines will be rejected by the system.

3) Abstract submission (4 steps)

Step 1: Enter the following data: abstract title, preferred presentation type (oral or poster), conference topic (late news oral or late news poster).

Step 2: Enter all co-authors data. The submitting author is registered by default. You can add as many co-authors as you need. You have to indicate a corresponding author and a presenting author. Please, make sure to fill-in all mandatory fields (marked with *).

In case of multiple submissions, the author data registered for the first submission can be used for the other ones.

Step 3: Select (“parcourir”) and upload the 2-page abstract file. Do not submit any supplementary data.

Step 4: Overview and submit your submission.

After your submission is completed, you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. You can edit any previously-submitted abstract until the submission deadline. However, no new confirmation email is sent in that case.
