The submission of abstracts for the presentation of your research work is currently open until Monday October 19 (4:00pm). Abstract submission have to be done online. Abstracts can be submitted in French or English. Abstracts should not exceed 250 words.

This year, because of the situation the symposium will be entirely online. The poster session will be replaced by a mosaic of videos. Students will be invited to pre-record their video presentation using the zoom platform.

Oral student presentations will be highlighted. Indeed, we will have the pleasure of inviting 12 students to present their research work. We therefore strongly encourage students to orient their choice towards an oral presentation when submitting their abstracts.
