In submitting an abstract the authors may indicate their preferred mode of presentation - either oral or poster - but they agree to the decision of the Paper Committee on this matter. Authors will be notified at the time of acceptance of the abstract.

Abstracts are to be submitted via email exclusively to solarfood@ises.org by 30 September 2008. Abstracts will be published in hard copy, and full papers will be published in CD-ROM form. These will be available for delegates at the conference.

Authors will be notified by 30 October 2008 about the submission of full papers and posters. Full papers must be submitted for all presentations (oral and posters) by 30 November 2008. This should be done by email, according to the instructions and templates later to be available on www.solarfood2009.org.

By submitting an abstract, the authors understand that, if selected, one or more of the authors will personally present the paper or poster at the Conference and thus such authors are liable to pay the Conference registration fee. Submission of an abstract for review is considered as an agreement that the work will not be published or presented elsewhere prior to the conference. With the submission of an abstract, and paper or poster, the authors verify that the material is original with the author or the author has permission to use it. Authors authorize ISES to duplicate the works for distribution during and after the conference.

Posters should not exceed 640 mm width, 900 mm length (DINA1). Poster place assignment will be distributed before the Conference. Authors are responsible for printing and displaying their posters before their presentation.
