Selection criteria

Participant selection will be guided by submitted abstracts, according to the expected scientific impact of the work on the conference and the field. It is, therefore, requested that all participants submit an abstract (at the time of registration, they should also specify whether they wish to present a poster or short talk).

For participants who do not plan to present their work, a CV (for principal investigators) or motivation letter (for students/post-docs) is requested. The CV/motivation letter has to be sent to EMBO_SUMO@lumc.nl prior 1 June 2023.

In addition, a proper balance of participants from different countries, genders, and career stages will be sought.

Otherwise, selection will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The organizing committee will send a notification of your acceptance to the conference and/or selection for oral presentations within 2-3 weeks after the abstract submission deadline. This e-mail will also include payment details.
