The number of oral presentations will be limited and will be assigned on a competitive basis as judged by the Scientific Committee. Accepted abstracts that are not accepted as Oral presentations may be assigned to an E-poster session. Additionally, presentations submitted as part of a symposium not selected are invited to resubmit for Oral and E-poster presentations, unless otherwise requested.
The oral presentation will follow a traditional format, with presenters being afforded 7 minutes to present their findings and an additional 3 minutes to answer questions. The time limit for each presentation and related questions and answers will be strictly observed.
Abstract submissions must be formatted according to the guidelines and submitted on the ISPAH Congress Website submission portal.
Please read and follow the abstract guidelines for Oral and E-poster presentations carefully.
Abstracts must be submitted using the online portal, not exceed 300 words, including headings (excluding title or authors) following the structured format (headings) as closely as possible, as shown below.
The title should be no longer than 15 words.
The body of the abstract should be structured using the following headings:
