Attention: when inserting any superscript (or subscript) style to the numbering of the authors, any number will be represented with tags and for this reason, for the first two authors we will have P.

• AFFILIATIONS: For each of the authors mentioned in the list, report the institution they belong to WITHOUT ADDRESS, separated by a semicolon or a carriage return. In the case of an institute common to several authors, please avoid repeating the name of the same institute and use numbers or symbols to associate the different authors to the same institute (e.g. 1.

• TEXT ABSTRACT: in "text only" without any formatting. Max. 3500 characters including spaces. The system accepts accented characters, mathematical symbols, and Greek alphabet characters but does not recognize styles such as bold, underline, italics, superscript and subscript. ^Superscript and _subscript characters as well as entire words or phrases to which styles such as Bold, Italic and Underline must be applied, can be marked with specific tags through a special popup menu next to the label of the following fields: Title, Authors and Abstract . With it, authors will then be able to add normal formatting settings to content introduced in text-only format. The result of the formatting will then be correctly represented in the detail page of the abstract previously introduced;
• CURRICULUM VITAE: after the abstract saving, you will be immediately requested to upload the Curriculum Vitae of the first author. Please prepare the .PDF file before filling out the abstract form;
• ATTACHED: Figures/tables are not mandatory. In any case, only one figure or table is allowed. Authors who wish to include one figure or table should first save the text of their abstract. Afterwards, from the detail page of the saved abstract, authors can access a form to attach one figure or one table only.

When the abstract deadline has expired the Scientific Committee will evaluate the abstracts. Best abstracts, selected by the reviewers among the best scored, will be selected for presentation as oral communication in plenary session. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author. The official language of the Congress is English. The presenter should be one of the authors.
