STEP 3: Abstract title (≤25 words)

Your title should be concise and descriptive but long enough to clearly indicate the nature of the abstract

STEP 4: Authors & affiliations

Please enter all authors in the order they should appear in the head of the abstract. If you (the Contact Author) are not the Presenter on a submission, you will need to provide contact information for the Presenter.

Note:

* Affiliations that are in the dropdown box and not selected will not be displayed

• Has this abstract been previously published or presented in full in a peer-reviewed journal or at another scientific meeting?

• Any project funding

• Conflict – All authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts, disclosure of relationships and interests that might appear to represent a potential conflict of interest affords a more transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work. Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interest is not meant to imply that a financial relationship with an organisation that sponsored the research or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate.
