Online application form

To process your application, you must complete the online form in the next page, following the guidelines provided below.

All fields marked with a red asterisk in the form are mandatory—pay particular attention to the e-mail address provided. In some fields, specific details are included; please follow the examples attentively.

Upon completion of your application, you will receive a reference number. If the online system does not present this number for you to view, the submission was not successful. Keep your reference number for future use.

Abstract Format

Abstract submission is mandatory. You may use an abstract of an almost completed or recently completed thesis, of your current work, or of future projects. The abstract should be in English and structured as follows.

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

Authors. If more than one author, underline your name and use commas to separate the names; do not use 'and' before the last author. Write the names as initials, followed by the surname. If more than one affiliation, use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution. Example:
   M. Rossi¹, J. Doe², F. Bloggs^1,2
   1Dept Biomembranes, Golgi & Veratti Univ., Pavia, Italy
   ²Dept Bioblast Analyses, Altmann Univ., Leipzig, Germany

Abstract text. Keep the abstract text to within 2500 characters, spaces included. If this text is too long, your abstract submission will fail. Subdivide the text in Background & Aims, Methods, Results, and Conclusion. Explain abbreviations in the text when they are used for the first time, except common abbreviations (e.g., ATP, DNA, RNA, NMDA, c-fos, etc). In Methods, if applicable, state the approval of the research project by the relevant ethical or legal committee(s). Provide an acknowledgment stating the funding sources. You may cite up to a maximum of two journal references.
