International Symposium on Food Safety and Control - Abstracts and Paper Submissions

Abstracts and Paper Submissions

Contributions on the topics listed in the Symposium Announcement under Section C are welcome as oral or poster presentations. All submissions, apart from invited papers, must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere.

IMPORTANT: The system for electronic submission of papers, IAEA-INDICO, is the sole mechanism for submission of abstracts and contributed papers. Authors are encouraged to submit their work as early as possible. The IAEA will not accept submissions via email.

Specifications for the layout and electronic format of the contributed papers and for the preparation of posters will be made available on IAEA-INDICO.

Submission of Abstracts

Abstracts (approximately 150 to 200 words, may contain any charts, graphs, figures and references) should give enough information on the content of the proposed paper to enable the Programme Committee to evaluate it.

Anyone wishing to present at the symposium must submit an abstract in electronic format using the conference’s file submission system (IAEA-INDICO). The abstract can be submitted through this system until 17 November 22 December 2023.

In addition, authors must register online using the InTouch+ platform (see Section H). The online registration together with the auto-generated Participation Form (Form A) and Form for Submission of a Paper (Form B) must reach the IAEA no later than 17 November 22 December 2023.

Acceptance of Abstracts

The Secretariat reserves the right to exclude abstracts that do not comply with its technical or scientific quality standards and that do not apply to one of the topics listed in the Symposium Announcement under Section C. Authors will be informed by 19 January 2024 as to whether their submission has been accepted, either orally or as a poster, for presentation at the symposium. Accepted abstracts will also be reproduced in an unedited electronic compilation of abstracts which will be made available to all registered participants of the symposium.

Submission of Extended Abstracts

Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to provide an extended abstract (3 to 5 pages) by 18 March 2024. Longer manuscripts will only be accepted at the discretion of the Secretariat and only in exceptional cases.

Guidelines and a template for the preparation and submission of the extended abstract will be available on IAEA-INDICO.
