The anonymised abstracts<\/em><\/strong> will be assessed by the selection committee, which has the final decision on whether to accept your submission and also decide on the most suitable presentation type if accepted. Abstracts will be published in the “Proceedings book”, which you can cite. The Founders’ prize and runner-up prizes will be awarded to both oral and poster presentations by the judging panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\nE-poster section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOnly authors from overseas, including Sri Lanka, can submit abstracts for this section. Selection will be based on the same criteria as above. Once an abstract is selected, the author can send an E-poster in PDF format, which will appear on the SLMDA UK website. They will also be published in the abstract book. The best abstract as selected by the judges, will be converted into a physical poster after the PDF is received and displayed at the scientific session and awarded a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
