Prospective authors are invited to submit posters on any aspect of work you think would be interested to ARCS Symposium Attendees.
If accepted, posters must be a maximum of A1 size and must be presented in portrait orientation. Successful authors will be responsible for printing and bringing their own posters to the Symposium, and for hanging their posters on the supplied boards during the registration period.
A select number of posters will be invited to give short oral communications. If you are selected for this, you will be notified by email.
Abstracts are welcome to cover any subject of interest, and we particularly welcome all STPs to enter their projects from both this current year and those who completed their project last year too.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 600 words long (including title – maximum 25 words), and can follow any format, although you may wish to follow the suggested structure below.
