Call for abstracts

We are pleased to announce that the Call for Abstracts is now open. Submissions are invited under the approved sessions, each aligned with one of the eight broad Symposium themes.

Submission deadline: Monday 1 December 2025, 11.59pm (New Zealand time).

Abstracts may be submitted for consideration as:

• Oral presentations (15 minutes, including Q&A)
• Speed talks (5 minutes)
• Posters

Each submission should include a 300-word abstract (plain text) and all contributing authors and affiliation details. Submissions will be reviewed by the session chair and co-chairs, with final selection based, in part, on alignment with the overall Symposium themes.

We strongly encourage submissions from delegates in developing nations, as we aim to foster a diverse and inclusive programme.

We look forward to receiving your abstract and to your participation in what promises to be an inspiring and impactful Symposium.
