and submission of abstracts

Expressions of interest

To register expressions of interest and to receive regular conference mailings, please contact the conference organisers at ciac2000@abdn.ac.uk

Information on registration, conference costs and further detai of accommodation will be posted on the web site in early October.

Contributions of papers and posters relating to all aspects of the symposium theme are welcome. Note: for poster presentation only, subjects related to cephalopods but falling outside the scope of the symposium may be considered. The number of oral presentations will necessarily be limited and we may have to schedule some submissions as posters. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 31/1/2000.

The format of the abstract should be as indicated on the abstract submission form. The information submitted should be sufficient to allow us to evaluate the suitability of the proposed presentation and should fit onto one A4 page. Authors should provide keywords.

Please complete the downloadable abstract submission form.

An edited, peer-reviewed version of the conference proceedings will be published, for which all conference presentations would be considered for inclusion. If you wish to submit your manuscript for publication, you should bring the final manuscript, 3x hard copy and a disk, to the conference.

Please note that participation in workshops is by invitation. Further detai are available from the workshop organisers.
