There are three categories available for presenting your research in the IV IWA: Banner, Presentation in Round-Tables and Open Communication.
For any of these categories, each person may submit one paper as first author and one as co-author. Those who exceed these limits will have their latest application rejected.
Co-authors do not need to register in the event in order to get their certificate of presentation (which will be available online to all participants). Nonetheless, they will need to register at least as "participant without presentation" to receive the Participant's Kit.
The submission of the presentation's abstract is mandatory on the act of registration for all categories of presentations (there is a special field for the abstract on the registration form). Abstracts must not exceed 1500 characters (counting blank spaces). Please do not forget to address the funding agencies of your research because they will be published with your abstract on the Abstract Book and will be available for download at Program page.
