All abstracts must be submitted through (Mode of submission).
The ‘one presentation’ rule will be applied to all delegates at Tropical Bio Summit 2024. That is, a presenting author in one session cannot present in another session (oral, poster, or symposium). However, there is no limit on the number of times a delegate can be a co-author in other abstracts. The one-presentation rule does not apply to delegates presenting in workshops or field courses, or those invited to participate in debates or as keynote speakers.
The word limit in the body of the abstract is 400.
The abstract must be prepared in English and contain the following sections:
Introduction / Background / Justification
Objective(s)/Hypothesis(es)
Methods
Results
Implications/Conclusions
Please note that limits of space and time may make it impossible to accommodate all requests for oral presentations, in which case we may ask you to present your work as a poster.
The Scientific Committee of Tropical Bio Summit 2024 will review the abstracts and has final authority for acceptance and scheduling.
Review Criteria

Poster Presentation Guidelines
Poster size is 33.1-inch (84.1 cm) width, 46.8-inch (118.9 cm) height, (A0-portrait size). Oversized posters will not get displayed in the conference.
Posters should be printed either on paper or cloth; any type of plastic materials is not permitted.
Use plain colors and avoid overly small fonts. Add graphs and figures. Empty space is essential because it provides visual pauses in which to think; a good rule of thumb is: 20% text, 60% graphics, and 20% empty space.
Poster will be displayed during the entire seminar duration.
The poster should be self-explanatory, and at least one presenter must be available during the designated poster viewing time for discussions with attendees.
