• The preference for oral or poster presentation should be indicated by the applicant during the submission process, however the final decision on the presentation format will be made by the Scientific Program Committee.
• Successful abstract submissions will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt.

Notification of Abstract Acceptance and Author Registration

All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and selection will be noticed on December 15, 2023. You will receive an email to confirm that your abstract has been accepted and whether it will be an Oral or Poster presentation. You will be provided an abstract reference number which should be quoted in all correspondence. Once the abstract is accepted, the presenting author should register for the congress and present the work at the congress. If the first author cannot register for the conference, at least one of the authors must register for the congress and the author details should be notified to the secretariat at info.wbc2024@gmail.com.

You will receive an acknowledgement of your abstract submission right after the online submission. If you do not receive anything, please send an email to info.wbc2024@gmail.com to make sure we have received your abstract.
