The EFMC Young Scientists Network invites you to take part in the first EFMC Virtual Poster Session, open to all and free to attend.

All participants are invited to register and submit abstracts for poster presentations. The submitted abstracts will be reviewed for their acceptance by the Organising Committee. The accepted abstracts will be published in the electronic book of abstracts and authors will be invited to upload their virtual poster for display and discussion in the Virtual Poster Hall.

Please note that your registration is required to access abstract submission. 

You will always receive an acknowledgement of your abstract submission. If you do not receive anything, please call us on +32 10 45 47 77 or send us an email to secretariat@LDOrganisation.com, to make sure we have received your abstract.

Abstracts must be submitted via the Abstract Submission tool available under the Registration menu on this website.

In order to submit your abstract, select “Abstract submission” under the “Registration” menu. Log in using your registration number (received upon registration) as well as your e-mail address. Select “Abstract Submission” and “Add”.
