INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

To ensure consistency in formatting, all abstracts are to be submitted as a PDF document (authors can create their abstracts in, for example, Word or LaTeX format but the final uploaded abstract must be a PDF format) following the layout of the abstract template which is available to view/download below.

The maximum length for abstracts is 350 words and one table or figure may be included. You will be required to select your preferred presentation type, nominate the presenting author and provide their biography in the relevant fields.

The deadline for abstract submission has now closed.
Abstracts must be submitted in English with a maximum word count of 350.
A limit of two abstracts per presenting author may be submitted.
ONE table or figure per abstract may be included.
Authors will be notified about the outcome of the review process from early June 2007.
All presenters of accepted abstracts are expected to attend the Conferences and pay the registration fee by the Early Bird Registration date or their abstract/s will be withdrawn.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

You will be required to upload your abstract in PDF format at the end of the submission procedure. A confirmation email indicating a successful upload will be instantly sent to the Submitting Author's email address.

By using your personal Access Key, which will be issued to you later in this form, you will be able to access the "Speaker Zone" on the conferences website.

In the Speaker Zone, you will be able to:

View the PDF version of your abstract to ensure the abstract has been received correctly (the Secretariat will not take responsibility for abstracts incorrectly received - the authors MUST review their abstracts via the Speaker Zone to ensure that the abstract uploaded is absolutely correct)
Upload a replacement abstract, if required.
Add additional abstracts, if required (please note - a maximum of 2 abstracts per Presenting Author may be submitted).
Check the status of your abstract.
Register for the Conferences.

Please note that the deadline for abstract submission has now closed. If you have any queries regarding your submission please contact the Conference Secretariat via email on program@grg18.com

The Earlybird registration deadline has now closed.

You will be sent an acknowledgement via e-mail to confirm that your abstract has been received. If you do not receive the acknowledgement within three days of your submission, please contact the Conference Secretariat via email: program@grg18.com / program@Amaldi7.com

If you are unable to submit your abstract via this website, please contact the Conference Secretariat by email at program@grg18.com / program@Amaldi7.com to make alternative arrangements.

IUPAP / ISGRG GRANT AVAILABLE TO ACCEPTED ABSTRACT SUBMITTERS

Scientists from developing countries and international students may wish to apply for reduced registration fees through the IUPAP / ISGRG Grant scheme.

If you wish to apply, you must download and complete the application form available via the following link click here

You will need to provide the following:

Full demographic details including your current position within your institution
Declaration of any current travel support you have received and the channels via which this is received

To secure IUPAP sponsorship, the organizers have provided assurance that the 18th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GRG18) and 7th Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves (Amaldi7) will be conducted in accordance with IUPAP principles as stated in the ICSU-Document "Universality of Science" (sixth edition, 1989) regarding the free circulation of scientists for international purposes. In particular, no bona fide scientist will be excluded from participation on the grounds of national origin, nationality, or political considerations unrelated to science.
