• Payment

  Payment is possible by credit card or bank transfer. Further details about the payment procedure is available through your personal myCSSA.

  N.B. Registration fee payments received after the deadline will be subject to a late payment charge of € 30, which will be added to the total cost.

  N.B. The payment date is considered as the date in which payment is credited to the ABCD account (not when the payment procedure is initiated; please take this into consideration, especially if your payment is being processed by your administration).

  Cancellations and refunds

  Cancellations with a refund request must be sent by e-mail to the secretariat and must be accompanied by a valid justification. Refunds will be decided case by case by the organisers. If accepted, cancellations within 8 July 2016 will be refunded fully, minus an administrative charge of 30 EUR; cancellations within 15 July 2016 will be refunded only by 50% of the total package price; no refunds will be provided after 15 July 2016.

   

• Abstracts guidelines

  Abstracts are accepted exclusively through this website, either during registration or, after registration, through your personal myCSSA page (you will need to register to have access to the latter).

  Only one abstract per participant is allowed. The abstract should be submitted by the presenting author only.

  Abstracts guidelines:

  • the title must start in uppercase and continue in lowercase, except for conventional terms (ATP, DNA, NFκB, etc).
  • if more than one author, underline your name (the presenting author, in whatever position you appear in the author list) and use commas to separate the names; do not use 'and' before the last author. The presenting author's first name(s) and surname should be written in full; for all other authors, write first name(s) as initials and surname in full. If more than one affiliation, use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution.
  • the abstract text must be no longer than 2000 characters, spaces included (which is roughly equivalent to 250 words).

  The abstract submission deadline is 7 July 2016. The organisers will then review the received abstracts for oral or poster presentations.

   

• Travel Fellowship

  The ABCD provides fellowships to help towards the meeting expenses of young ABCD members (under 35), junior or regular with 2016 ABCD membership paid. The request for this fellowship is made during the registration procedure. Please note that candidates will be evaluated only after payment of the registration fee.
