Notes for Submission
- Please select whether you wish to give an oral or poster presentation. The final decision regarding the presentation format will be made by the Program Committee. The presentation format will be announced together with the notification of acceptance.
- Participant registration and abstract submission must be completed by the presenting author (first author) themselves. Proxy registration or submission by co-authors is not accepted.
- Prior approval from all co-authors must be obtained before submitting an abstract.
- A maximum of two abstracts may be submitted per person as first author. A participant can only give one oral presentation.
If two abstracts are submitted for oral presentations and both are accepted, one of them will be assigned as a poster presentation.
This restriction does not include Plenary or Keynote Lectures.
- Please refer to the Session List and select your preferred sessions (up to three choices may be indicated).
- Information regarding poster size and other details will be announced on the conference website approximately one month prior to the meeting.
4. Abstract Submission Procedure
To confirm or modify your registration details, you will need to log in. Please keep your Login ID, password, and registration number secure until the acceptance/rejection decision is finalized.
For security reasons, please note that we are unable to respond to inquiries regarding these credentials.
1) Process from Abstract Entry to Completion
- Please follow the instructions on the abstract submission screen and enter the required information.
- After completing the submission, a confirmation email will be sent to you automatically. If you do not receive the email, please return to the account registration page and check your email address. If the email address is correct but you still do not receive the confirmation email, your submission may not have been properly processed; in such cases, we kindly ask you to resubmit your abstract. Also, please check your spam/junk mail folder as the email may have been filtered there.
- Depending on your computer environment, some special characters may not display correctly in the confirmation email. However, if the information is displayed correctly on the abstract submission system screen, there should be no problem.
2) Word Limit for Abstracts
The abstract text is limited to 3,000 characters (approximately 550 words). Please note that spaces, special characters, symbols, and formatting codes (including HTML tags) are included in the character count.
3) Entry of Special Characters and Formatting
If you wish to use special characters or formatting, please copy them from the table available on the abstract submission page and paste them into the appropriate sections.
5. Confirmation and Modification after Abstract Submission
- Confirmation and modification of abstracts are possible only during the abstract submission period. Please log in to the submission system to make any changes.
- After the submission period has ended, we will not be able to accept revisions, changes, or additions for abstracts, authors, or affiliations. Please note that special exceptions will not be made under any circumstances.
- Submitted abstracts will, in principle, not be proofread. All registered information will be published as is in the abstract viewing system. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to carefully check all details to ensure there are no errors in affiliations or omissions of co-authors.
6. Acceptance/Rejection of Abstracts
Acceptance or rejection of general abstracts, along with other details, will be sent by email to the registered author in late February 2026 after the program has been finalized.
Decisions on the acceptance/rejection of abstracts and the presentation format will be made at the discretion of the Program Committee. Please note that some submissions may not be accepted.
The abstracts of accepted presentations will be made available on the participants’ website web page in mid-June 2026,
prior to the Annual Meeting. The exact date of publication will be announced on this website
