- Cancellations after 15 August 2026: No refunds will be issued

Selection criteria
In previous years this meeting has been oversubscribed. Participants will therefore be selected by the organizers based primarily on the submitted abstract. All applicants are expected to submit an abstract; alternatively, a brief CV may be considered in exceptional cases.
The criteria for selection will include:
- Relevance of the research topic to the scope of the meeting
- Scientific quality, rigor, and novelty of the submitted work
- Contribution to a broad and balanced representation of the community, including diversity of laboratories, career stages, institutional backgrounds, and geographic regions
In order to avoid over-representation of individual laboratories and to ensure wide international participation, we will aim to include researchers from a diverse range of institutions and countries.
Abstract guidelines
Abstract should provide a brief overview of the work to be presented and no longer than 250 words.
Poster specifications
Poster size must not exceed 100cm (width) X 120cm (height).
Travel grants and registration fee waivers
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.
Applicants do not need to apply separately for these but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered.
Additional travel grants are available for EMBC Associate Member States Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan.
