Payment
Payments will be handled by the Foundation Leonardo Torres Quevedo, which will generate a website for this purpose and use a dedicated bank account. Payments can be made via bank transfer or credit card. Selected participants will be sent payment details by email.
Selection criteria
Before payment, please first register and submit your abstract via the registration system. The organisers will then inform you whether or not you have been accepted, upon which you can settle your payment.
The main criteria for the selection of the participants will be the scientific quality of the submitted abstracts as well as the relevance and complementarity to the planned scientific sessions.
Furthermore, we will also implement the following criteria during the selection procedure:
- Gender balance: we will aim to 50% female participation.
- Early-career researchers: we will aim to have >50% junior participants (PhD students, postdocs and young PIs). Moreover, we will prioritize junior researchers as speakers for the selected Short Talks.
- Geographical balance: we will aim at having participants from many different countries, favoring participation from economically less privileged countries and avoiding an over-representation of participants from the hosting country (i.e. less than 15% participants from France)
Abstract guidelines
The abstract should be limited to 200 words, excluding title and author information.
