Abstracts

Like previous annual SSCC congresses, also SSCC2024 offers opportunities for its participants to share results of research and development by either oral or poster presentation.
To this end, the congress committee invites you to submit abstracts. All abstracts will undergo reviewing by the scientific committee.  

Authors are kindly invited to submit their abstracts on the submission platform only. Abstracts submitted by fax or e-mail will not be accepted.
Please read the submission guidelines carefully.

Deadline for the abstract submission was Sunday, June 9, 2024 at the end of the day (extension from previous deadline of May 30).
