| Terms & Conditions for Submitting an Abstract A registered participant is permitted no more than two presentations (oral or poster) in the Congress Programme as presenting author. After registration, which will open in October 2009, authors will be asked to validate abstracts that have been submitted and accepted. Only validated abstracts will be printed in the Congress Book of Abstracts. To validate an abstract, the presenting author must be registered and fully paid up.
The preference for oral or poster presentation specified by the authors when submitting an abstract is indicative only. The final decision about the type of presentation will depend on its suitability to the Programme. All presentations must be in English the official language of the Congress.
Oral presenters, including invited and keynote speakers, should submit a manuscript for the Acta Horticulturae. If this is not agreed to by the author(s), the work may alternatively be presented as a poster. Authors of posters are welcome to submit manuscripts for Acta Horticulturae, but posters cannot be published as such. Deadline for submitting manuscripts to Acta Horticulturae is 27 August 2010.
The final decision regarding abstract acceptance and the form of presentation (oral or poster) will be communicated to the corresponding author by 31 March 2010. |
