*) Registrations must be received by July 31, 2017, to qualify for early bird rates. Regular registration rates will go into effect on August 1, 2016. The final registration deadline is September 15, 2017.
**) Doctoral candidates of the graduate school BuildMoNa may participate in the conference for their scientific training. In this case, register by using our online registration form (NOT via the BuildMoNa website). The conference fee will be paid by the BuildMoNa office.

In addition to your participation registration (above), you are encouraged to apply for a short talk or poster contribution. All abstracts will be reviewed by the organizing committee because only a limited number of people with extraordinary abstracts can be selected for actually giving a talk. In case a talk abstract is not accepted for oral presentation, the author usually gets the opportunity to present a poster instead. Notification of acceptance of a talk or poster will be send via e-mail shortly after the submission deadline has passed.

To submit an abstract, we strongly encourage you to use our submission webform which makes the evaluation process much easier. However, if you face any problems, you may alternatively submit your abstract via e-mail to the conference secretariat (see requirements below).

Abstract Requirements:
If you are unable to use our submission webform and wish to send your abstract via e-mail instead, make sure to meet the following requirements: An abstract should be a self-contained description of the contribution and why it would be of interest to conference attendees. Your abstract must include a descriptive title, list of authors, and affiliated institution(s). In case of multiple authors, please indicate the presenting author. Do NOT include any figures or illustrations, i.e. text only. The complete abstract should not exceed one DIN A4 or US Letter page (font Time New Roman, font size 11 pt). Please send your abstract as an editable Word file (*.doc, *.docx) or OpenOffice file (*.odt).

Talk Requirements:
The lecture hall is equipped with a laptop and a beamer to display your presentation (PDF or PowerPoint). Alternatively, you are free to use your own laptop. However, in case of problems, it is advisable to have a copy of your presentation on a USB-stick. Contributed talks are limited to 12 min plus 3 min discussion, whereas invited talks are allocated 20 min plus 10 min discussion.

Poster Requirements:
Posters must fit within a rectangle 90 cm wide and 120 cm high (DIN A0), portrait format. The material necessary to mount the poster (pins or "Poster Strips") will be provided.
