The account holder will receive the notifications regarding the status of the abstract. You will be required to pay the abstract fee at the time of submission. 
  • You may be first author of multiple volunteered scientific papers provided that each submission represents distinct research. Sponsoring or co-authoring of additional abstracts is permitted. 
  • The first author of the abstract is expected to present the paper, unless prior approval is received from the Program Committee. The first author must find a replacement speaker if multiple abstracts are programmed at the same time.

Each Last-Chance abstract should be constructed using the following subsections with subheadings:

  • Introduction/Background: a brief discussion of the background or rationale of the study and/or the question addressed
  • Materials and Methods: the experimental approach, materials, and methods used in the study
  • Results: the data and results obtained in the study
  • Conclusions: the conclusions and/or implications of the results
  • Acknowledgements: for grant funding or other special contributions to the research

Please note that figures and tables are not permitted in the body of the abstract. Likewise, literature references should be restricted to a minimum and should be cited in the body of the abstract.
