CLOSEST KEY DATES
- 9 June 2011: Deadline for abstract submission (for oral presentations)
- 28 June 2011: Deadline for early registration
- 20 July: Deadline for abstract submission (for poster or virtual presentations)
 

VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION
In addition to the oral and posters presentations, a Virtual Participation mode has been established for those researchers who are unable to attend the Conference personally. These participants will be requested to send "virtual papers", which will be exhibited and discussed at the online platform for virtual participation. These papers can be prepared using Power Point, Flash or similar software, or video recordings. Please consult the conference website for details.


PUBLICATIONS
- Abstract Book: A Book of Abstracts will be produced including all abstracts of works presented at the Conference. Each registered participant will receive a copy at the beginning of the Conference. (It will be dispatched to virtual participants shortly after the conference).

- Proceedings: The conference proceedings will be published by World Scientific Publishing Group. This is one of the world’s leading academic publishers that will ensure an international distribution of the BioMicroWorld2011 Proceedings. All details on full paper submission for the book can be consulted in the “Call for Papers” section on the conference website. (Submission of a full paper is optional).


For any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@biomicroworld2011.com

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.
