Introduction
Abstract submission in now closed.
Trainees and registrants from developing countries who are interested in presenting an oral or poster presentation are invited to submit an abstract for consideration by the Scientific Committee. The abstracts should be submitted in English and arrive no later than Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be accepted.
Definition of a Trainee
The course can be an undergraduate course, a postgraduate course, a postdoctoral training program or a clinical fellow training program. Please complete the form below confirming your trainees status and fax to + 41 22 732 2850.
Definition of a Developing Country
It is always a difficult task to develop a classification system that fairly and adequately describes a developing country. Consequently, the Management Committee of NeuPSIG has adopted the classification developed by the World Bank. www.worldbank.org
Participants who would like to present an oral or poster presentation must submit an abstract for consideration by the Scientific Committee. The Scientific Committee will determine whether abstracts will be accepted as oral or poster presentations, with consideration to be given to the author’s preference.
The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission to the Secretariat.
Only the abstracts of registered presenting authors will be included in the program and book of abstracts.
Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published on the website prior to the Conference.
