Abstract call

We are glad to announce the abstract call is now open.

Please, read carefully the information below before submitting your abstract or letter of intent. Either is accepted but one is necessary.

We will keep some spots available for students or researchers who are not presenting an abstract but are interested in conducting research on ancient biomolecules or seeking new collaborations. To apply, please submit your letter of intent in place of an abstract in the application section.

  • Abstracts will be 250 words long.
  • Letters of intent will be 1 page long maximum.

The official language of the conference will be English.

We are aware that English is not the first language for most of us, so if you would like to present your talk or poster in your native language, just let us know. Keep in mind that the slides, printed posters and abstract will be in English. We will prioritize the talks in English but keep some room for non-English talks too, if necessary.

Travel awards

There will be travel awards available only for students.

If you want to apply for a travel award please attach:

  1. The latest registration/enrollment document to back up your student status.
  2. A letter of intent which also specifies the city and country from which you will travel from.
  3. A letter of recommendation.
