How we process submitted abstracts for the symposium.

Abstract Handling Procedure

  • Abstract submission closed on December 5, 2016.
  • We received 448 contributions.
  • Each abstract has been reviewed and rated by 2-3 peers, reviewing was completed on January 20.
  • We accept all 448 submitted abstracts, however we were heavily overbooked for the oral sessions.
  • We therefore had to move about 75% of the contributions requested for oral to the poster sessions.
  • Notification about acceptance as oral or poster presentation was communicated on January 30, 2017.
  • In case you did not receive a notification, please contact us immediately.

What happens after notification?

  • A draft oral and poster program is available online.
  • If you have not yet done so, you should  register as IWGS participant before Feb. 17. Please be aware that we will list in the final IWGS program only contributions from participants with confirmed registration and completed payment.
  • We therefore recommend that you to complete your Symposium registration as participant at your earliest convenience, but not later than February 17, 2017, in order to be eligible for the early bird fees AND your contribution to appear on the final symposium program and the proceedings book.
