Before you begin

• The official language of the conference is English. All submitted content needs to be in English.
• All presenters will be required to register for the conference by 25 January, 2027 which is also the Early Bird registration deadline. Presenters who do not register by this date will not be included in the conference programme. We will issue acceptance notices by 27 November, 2026 so you can proceed with registering with early bird rates after you have received the results.
• Abstracts per author: authors cannot submit more than one oral presentation per session. If you wish to submit more than one abstract, these need to fall into different sessions. The number of poster submissions is not limited

Presentation formats

• Oral presentation – the standard length for an oral presentation is a 12-minute talk + 3 minutes for Q&A.
• Poster presentation – authors of accepted poster presentations will be informed about the exact procedure after acceptance.

NB! During the abstract submission process, you will be asked to choose between an oral and a poster presentation. As the number of oral presentations at the conference is limited, authors submitting abstracts for oral presentation may, in some cases, be invited to present a poster instead.

Preparing your abstract

• Abstracts of oral and poster presentations should be maximum 300 words in English, with a title of no more than 20 words.
• No references should be included in the abstract.
• It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that the abstract text does not contain typos or grammatical errors. The abstracts will not be proofread and will be printed as submitted.
• Abstracts can only be submitted online using the Oxford Abstracts abstract submission form.
• You will need to select the most appropriate session from the list of sessions available at the conference. You can see the full list of sessions with descriptions HERE.
• After clicking the "Submit" button in the form, you will receive a confirmation letter via e-mail with the identification number of your abstract. You can use this reference for any communication regarding your contribution. If you do not receive this notification, please check your spam folder, or contact iufrodiv5@publicon.ee to confirm that your abstract has been received.

You will be able to enter the system and edit your abstract at any time until the submission deadline. Afterwards, you will not be able to modify your abstract anymore.

Evaluation process

Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee with regard to scientific quality and relevance to the conference.
Notification of acceptance or rejection of abstracts will be issued no later than 27 November, 2026.

Cancellation policy

Please do not submit an abstract unless you are committed to participating in the conference. Cancellations impose a serious burden and negatively impact the overall quality of the conference programme. If extenuating circumstances force you to cancel your participation and you are unable to find a co-author or colleague to give your presentation on your behalf, we ask that you notify us immediately at iufrodiv5@publicon.ee so we can update the programme accordingly.
