Abstract submission and contribution

Please use the abstract submission of the main conference to submit your abstract and follow abstract preparation guidelines if you apply only to the early career scientists session.

Flash talks are a unique opportunity for very young scientists such as Master students or young PhD students that do not have enough data yet to submit a full scientific abstract to prepare a few slides to pitch their project. Our aim is to help them developing their oral communication skills because we know how it is complicated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
All early career scientists are also invited to prepare a very short talk to explain a technical problem that they are facing at the moment in the lab to hopefully obtain some help from the community.
We are also interested by any new method/technique developed by early career scientists in their lab and that they would like to share.

To participate to the flash talks or if you need more information, please directly e-mail to Aubéri Henry auberi.henry@univ-reims.fr

We are looking forward to see you in May! Registrations are already open.
Deadline is 30.04.2021
