Persons wishing to make presentations at contributed sessions of the WC7 should submit an abstract of about 200 words. Abstracts should be submitted electronically through the official website of the Congress.

Please click here

The deadline for submission is April 10, 2009. Each person is permitted to present one contributed paper at most. This restriction does not prevent keynote or invited speakers from submitting also one contributed paper, nor does it limit the number of papers on which one can be listed as a co-author.

Please be sure to follow carefully the abstract submission instructions posted on the website.

The proposal should include the following information:
- E-mail address of contact person
- Name, institutional affiliation, city and country of each author
- Name of presenter - Preferred mode of presentation (oral or poster)
- Title of presentation
- Topic area (to be chosen among the Abstract s categories available)
- Abstract (about 250 words)
- Keywords (up to 5 words)

The contact persons will be notified by June 10, 2009 as to whether their abstract is accepted. Although abstracts can be submitted for an oral or poster presentation, the Scientific Organizing Committee will decide on the final mode of presentation.

Persons who wish to apply for grants or awards for young scientists should submit additional documents by the same deadline (April 10).
