Modalities of free paper and poster presentations will be sent with the notification of acceptance. Accepted posters will be accessible to delegates in the poster exhibition area.
For an abstract to be included in the final scientific program, it is mandatory for the presenting author to register for the congress and to settle payment as soon as the notification
of abstract acceptance is received and not later than Friday, January 28, 2015, 12:00 CET+1.
