Abstract Review & Selection: Abstracts, including footnotes, must be 200 words or less.

All the abstracts submitted will be reviewed by an International panel of experts representing all specialties.

Once the papers are reviewed, the conference secretariat will mail the status of the abstract.

Review your confirmation email, as this is how the abstract will be published. Errors can be corrected if sent by 60 days prior to the meeting. After this date, we cannot make any corrections. This rule is strictly enforced.

Withdrawals: If you choose to withdraw your abstract, please email your request by 60 days prior to the meeting, to the concerned program manager. After this date, your abstract will be published exactly as it was submitted in the Trends in Nanotechnology & Material Science as a supplement.
