Submission of abstracts

The Organising Committee launched the call for abstracts (for live web presentations) for the Early Career Scientists Seminar 2021, taking place via live web streaming on December 15th, 2021, 14.00-17.00 CET.

We invited scientists who obtained their highest degree (MsC or PhD) within the past 10 years to take this opportunity to boost the visibility of their work in front of an audience made up of scientists and experts from Europe and Latin America.

This year the abstracts focused on 'Mycotoxins research and mitigation strategies'

  • The best submissions were invited to present their work as keynote speaker in the live session.
  • The other submissions were invited to record a video of their presentation that will be shared during the event.
