abstract submissions
The FEMS MICRO programme will feature a wide range of session types, including poster displays, flash talks, and session talks, all showcasing cutting-edge science from our abstract submitters. Beyond traditional presentations, we are also curating an interdisciplinary programme of community-focused sessions, from meet-ups and fireside chats in the community corner to engaging debates on important topics.
abstract Submission Types
Posters are based on short abstracts, and will be displayed in hard copy format, with presenters standing by to answer questions and discuss their work. Each poster will be on display for the whole of the allocated day, with three sessions outlined in the programme encouraging people to gather by them for interaction and feedback.
Poster Display
Flash Talk
In addition to having a poster displayed in hard-copy format, authors selected for a flash talk will also receive a dedicated 5-minute presentation slot during a scheduled session in the exhibition hall. This format provides an excellent opportunity for first-time presenters who want to gain presentation experience in a supportive and engaging environment.
Session Talk
You can submit an extended abstract if you are interested in a live, in person 10 minute talk followed by Q&A. Up to 4 talks may be grouped around a similar topic within the same session of 60 minutes total. An extended abstract is a longer version of a typical abstract, providing more in-depth information about your research. It should be a well-structured and comprehensive summary of your work, conveying its main points, methodology, findings, and significance.
