Abstracts will be vetted by a Scientific Planning Committee that includes an independent panel of judges.
Each abstract proposal will be rated from one (1) to five (5), with five being the highest. At least three (3) members of the MEF-SPC Subcommittee will evaluate each abstract. The final score will be computed using an averaging system.
Proposals will be ranked accordingly based on the average scores generated from the overall scoring system.
Only the top abstracts with the highest submission scores, in each category, will be shortlisted to proceed to the next level of evaluation
- Please note that abstracts with the highest scores, have an opportunity to be published in a proceedings journal volume, subject to authors' approval.
- All approved posters will automatically be included in a competition and the winners will receive recognition awards, with a final 'public choice' award going to the poster voted by attendees as their personal preferred poster.
