Poster Abstracts can be submitted in 4 Categories, reflecting the themes of the Conference. You are invited to submit an abstract relevant to the themes of the conference for presentation in poster format. The Categories are:

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION HAS NOW CLOSED

There will be an exhibition of posters at the conference and the abstracts of accepted posters will be published in the Conference Programme. An International Panel will judge posters during the conference and a number of prizes will be presented. Posters submitted should be based upon original and/or ongoing research.   Abstracts should be submitted electronically, by 27th March 2009 to fhoolahan@stjames.ie.  Receipt of all abstracts will be acknowledged electronically.  You will be informed shortly after this date if your poster has been accepted for presentation. The Decision of the Abstract Judging Panel is Final.

Abstracts Forms must be submitted electronically.  They should be in the following format:

Author(s) and principal affiliations, with the presenting author named first

Abstract text, of not more than 250 words.
This should comprise an Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion.
