To ensure an objective evaluation of your scientific work, the SilicoNPV Conference employs a "double-blind" (i.e. double anonymous) review process. Please do not include any details (such as author names, affiliations, and contact information) in your abstract summary, in the abstract file, in the file name, or in the file properties that would reveal your identity (this includes sentences such as "as we demonstrated in our previous paper [x]"). Please note that the reviewers will only receive the abstract file (PDF) to evaluate your submission.All presentations are to be held on site at the conference , an online presentation is not possible.
The presenting author of the abstract is required to register and pay the conference fee in order to present their work.
Depending on the decision of the Scientific Committee, authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present a poster or give an oral presentation.
