ACCEPT / REJECT

Teilnahmestatus

Once you have decided which abstracts to present at the congress, you will need to enter your selection into the system:

1. status: an abstract is accepted or rejected

2. presentation type (final): an abstract is finally accepted for a specific type of presentation, e.g. as a poster

3. topic (final): an abstract is finally accepted for a specific topic

Note: When you transfer your selection into the system, you do not change the original data prefered by the submitters; instead, you add a status for acceptance.
