Online Abstract Submission
Abstracts that are accepted by the organising committee will be subject to peer review. The selection criteria include relevance to the summit theme, accuracy and originality of ideas, significance of the contribution and quality of presentation. All accepted abstracts will be published on the summit website, and those allocated to the program will present at the summit.
Guidelines
Abstracts submitted will be subject to peer review, then accepted or declined by the New Leaders Summit Organising Committee. The selection criteria includes: relevance to the theme, accuracy and originality of ideas, significance of the contribution and quality of presentation.
Accepted abstract authors will then be offered the opportunity to provide an extended abstract for presentation in either a technical showcase, rapid fire presentation or discussion forum, with revisions provided by peer review and the New Leaders Summit Organising Committee.
Abstracts/papers must be submitted as a PDF document only using the specific format as per the abstract template submitted through the abstract submission portal on the New Leaders Summit website. Submissions will not be accepted via email.
The Committee may, if necessary, limit the number of presentations per author. Submission of abstracts implies the author’s agreement to publish their abstract on the New Leaders Summit website. Authors must arrange and pay their own accommodation, travel and expenses to attend the summit.
Once the abstract submission deadline has passed, the organising committee will review all submitted abstracts. Authors will then be notified whether or not the abstract has been accepted for the next stage, and the requirements around submitting a full paper.
