Invitation to Present
The IAGOD 2010 Symposium Organising Committee invites you to submit abstracts for consideration in the Symposium program. Lodgement of an abstract does not mean automatic inclusion in the Symposium program.
Presenters will be advised in early February 2010 if and by what mode of presentation their paper is accepted.
If you have submitted more than one abstract, please seriously consider whether you will be submitting papers for all the abstracts that you have submitted. The Symposium Organising Committee will be using these abstracts to organise the contributed paper sessions.
Contributed paper presentation slots are limited. Please indicate if you would prefer to submit a poster option. Final assignment of oral or poster presentations will be at the discretion of the Local Organising Committee.
