Abstract and travel fellowship submissions are now closed ❌

What happens now?

In the week following the closing date, each abstract is allocated for assessment by 3-5 external reviewers from a wide panel, abstracts are then scored by each reviewer using set criteria and the scores are collated by MCI at the end of the external review period. 

During the week starting March 13, MCI informs abstract authors of the outcome and requests those with accepted abstracts to register for the congress to present their work.
