Frequently Asked Questions
We will be accepting text-based abstracts of up to 400 words in length.
The abstract submission system will provide text boxes in which you can populate the title, authors, affiliations & abstract body.
Special characters are available for the abstract body.
The presenting author should submit the abstract, please notify us if this isn't possible.
To avoid possible scheduling conflicts, only two abstracts per 1st named author are permitted.
By default, the 1st named author is the presenting author.
To assist in scheduling, please select a main theme to which your work best aligns
Multiple additional authors may be defined. First name, last name and the email address of all authors must be included. If one of the additional authors is presenting alongside the 1st author, please tick the presenting box.
Multiple affiliations may be identified for the authors of the abstract. You must include the institution name.
Affiliations will be automatically numbered, so please enter them in an appropriate order based on your author list.
You can save a partially or fully completed abstract prior to submission. You can go back and edit abstracts prior to submission.
Once an abstract is submitted, it may not be edited.
Please contact marstruct2027conf-admin@strath.ac.uk for help or support in submitting your abstract, we are here to assist.
