CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

You are hereby invited to submit abstracts to be considered for selection for the final program at the 2023 APRASSA Congress. You have the option to submit an abstract either for oral or poster presentation. Both types of presentation will have equal status, but including a poster session allows us to accommodate more presenters. Depending on the number of abstracts received, the programme committee may have to select some presentations to be done in the poster session. Specifications for the posters will be supplied to those candidates who are allocated a poster presentation. A maximum of two abstracts per presenter will be accepted.

The abstract deadline is 17 July 2023 (No extensions will be granted).
