Selection criteria
The main criteria for participant selection will be the scientific quality and research relevance to the lecture course’s themes as judged by the submitted abstract and motivation letter.
Along with an abstract, participants are asked to describe their motivation, based on their own projects, their expertise and their need for either learning about multimodal imaging (if they are marine biologists) or their intention to apply imaging methods to marine samples they are not necessarily used to (imaging experts).
The meeting organizers will pay particular attention in selecting a diverse scientific community, representing the two major fields targeted by the course (Marine biologists/Ecologists and Imaging experts). Moreover, we will strive to select participants of the largest diversity possible, be it of career stage, gender, and country of origin.
In addition, each session contains short talks that will be selected from the submitted abstracts by the organizers. Whenever possible, we will attempt to showcase scientific results from earlier stage researchers.
Abstract guidelines
Altogether abstracts should not exceed 350 words (incl. any citations). Please make sure full authors’ names and affiliations are included, and indicate if you would like your abstract to be considered for an oral presentation.
Poster specifications
Posters should have the A1 format (59.4 cm x 84.1 cm) and be displayed in a portrait orientation.

Travel grants and registration fee waivers are available for participants.
Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizers. EMBO travel grants and registration fee waivers are allocated on the basis of the quality of the submitted abstract.
