Any change to the presenting author must be notified as soon as possible, and the committee reserves the right to withdraw papers under these circumstances.

GENERAL:

Papers should closely reflect the presentation and thus be of a reasonable length - usually around 6 A4 pages A minimum 2 cm margin should be applied (top, bottom, left and right). Use Times New Roman size 12 font throughout the paper. All of the document should be left justified. Leave a blank line between each section (Title, Authors, Contact details, Abstract, methods, etc... References). The start of each paragraph within the paper should be indented by five spaces.
