Abstract & Paper Submission Guidelines

Bright Spark Lecture Awards

Bright Spark Lecture Awards: Based on recommendations of the ISSMGE, the organizing committee announces that we are aiming to include up to two Bright Spark Lecture awards during the conference (https://www.issmge.org/the-society/awards/bright-spark-lecture-award). If approved by the ISSMGE two awardees will be given the chance to give the lectures within a plenary session of the conference. The Conference Organising Committee will aim to identify two potential awardees based on papers that have been accepted or papers to be submitted of already accepted abstracts to the conference. Thus, the organizing committee extends the dead line for the authors of accepted abstracts to submit their papers to the conference.
