Accommodation

Accommodation is provided within the Congress Centre de Werelt. The hotel has 127 rooms, 7 single rooms and 120 double rooms. Due to this limited capacity, participants are requested to adopt room sharing. It is cheaper, and permits more of your collagues to be accommodated on site.

Should the Congress Centre become overbooked, the organisers will try to arrange alternative accommodation at the Parkhotel Hugo de Vries. The hotel is situated near the centre of Lunteren, 5 minutes away by car.

Registrations for this meeting are made online through this page or directly at the meeting. You are strongly encouraged to process your registration online as this facilitates the organisers' planning. A significant discount for online registrations is an added incentive.

The guidelines for the preparation of abstracts are the same for everyone. The guidelines shown below are also available through the abstract submission form. Abstracts are submitted exclusively through this website, either at the moment of your registration or, subsequently, through your personal myENP2013 page after registration.

Title
The title must start in uppercase and continue in lowercase, except for conventional terms (ATP, DNA, NFκB, etc). Example:
   This title is written correctly
   This Title is Not Properly Written
   ALSO THIS TITLE IS WRONG

Authorship
If more than one author, underline your name (the presenting author, in whatever position you appear in the author list) and use commas to separate the names; do not use 'and' before the last author. Write first name(s) as initials and surname in full. If more than one affiliation, use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution. Example:
  M. Rossi1, J. Doe2, F.C. Bloggs1,2
  1Dept Biomembranes, Golgi & Veratti Univ., Pavia, Italy
  2Dept Bioblast Analyses, Altmann Univ., Leipzig, Germany

Text
Keep the abstract text to within 2000 characters, spaces included (this is roughly equivalent to 250 words).


You are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract for a poster presentation.


If your abstract is selected for a poster presentation, when preparing your poster please remember that the area available to you is 90 x 110 cm (width x height).

"Portrait" is fine poster should be PORTRAIT    poster should NOT be LANDSCAPE "Landscape" not...

Please ensure that the corresponding number is clearly indicated on the poster itself (check the poster lists). Your poster should be readable from a 2-meter distance; as a rough guideline, use a font size of 72 pts for your title, and a minimum of 28 pts for your text.

Posters must be mounted on the day of the presentation between 08:00 and the start of the first session of the day (10:50 on Wednesday, and 09:00 on Thursday and Friday). Posters should only be removed at the end of the day and before 08:00 of the following day (or by 16:30 on Friday, 31 May).

All speakers have already been 'pre-registered'. You are kindly requested to 1) complete the online registration and 2) submit an abstract (speakers are kindly requested to abide by the general deadlines). To complete these steps, please access your myENP2013 page; you will need your e-mail address and a password. For your first access, please request a temporary password from the automated system: just click the "Lost, forgotten, or unknown password" link in the login page. If you need any clarifications, please contact us e-mail.

If you wish to register an accompanying person please contact us e-mail.

Presentation format

The format of your presentation (duration and discussion times) should have been communicated to you by the organisation. Presentations should be in English. Please remember that most people in your audience are not native English speakers - speak clearly (whether or not English is your native tongue) and not too fast.

Beamer equipment is available in all lecture rooms. The moderator of your session is in charge of the computer logistics. Room assistance is available during each session for additional help. Please contact your session moderator well in advance of the start of your session to arrange swift change of files between the presentations. The organisers' suggestion to the moderators is for all presentation files to be collected on a single laptop.

For any questions, contact your direct session organiser (chair/moderator). If you need any clarifications, please contact us e-mail.

Reimbursements

If you are entitled to reimbursements, you can download a reimbursement form. Please fill in this form as requested and return it by mail to the meeting treasurer no later than 1 July 2013. Please pay particular attention when filling in your data; for reimbursement forms that are properly filled in, the organisation can ensure a swift bank transfer (most often in less than a month).

All Session Organisers (Chairs) have already been 'pre-registered'. You are kindly requested to complete the online registration (regarding your attendance days, accommodation, meals, etc). To complete this step, please access your personal myENP2013 page; you will need your e-mail address and a password. For your first access, please request a temporary password from the automated system: just click the "Lost, forgotten, or unknown password" link in the login page. If you need any clarifications, please contact us e-mail.

If you wish to register an accompanying person please contact us e-mail.

Through your personal myENP2013 page you may also submit an abstract for a poster presentation.

In addition to the Instructions for Moderators that you received already (upon acceptance of your session proposal; this document is also available in your personal myENP2013 page), the Organising Committee provides the following suggestions in the hope that these will contribute to the successful development of your session and the meeting in general.

Your task at the meeting is to chair the session and oversee the computer logistics. A beamer is available during the session but you need to bring a laptop to complete the projection equipment. Room assistance will be available. The organisers strongly advise you to collect all the presentation files on a single laptop prior to your session. This will guarantee smooth exchange between the presentations.

Please ensure strict adherence to the schedule stated in the programme. This is crucial in order to enable participants interested in different subjects to move between different parallel sessions. Please understand that this is of the utmost importance and convey the concept to all your speakers.
