You will need to copy and paste the abstract from your word document, into the online submission process.

 

The abstract content is to be no more than 300 words - this is not including your title, authors and references. 

 

 

HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
The first step in uploading your abstract is to record your personal details on your own ‘dashboard’. If you have already completed it for your registration or another ASN event, you will not have to repeat this, just login to your ‘dashboard’ as a returning delegate. As you complete your registration you will receive a confirmation email. You will be able to upload your abstract via your personal 'dashboard.'

 


You can use your email and password to access your abstract submission at any time.

 


The presenting author must be the person submitting the abstract and they must do this from their own ‘dashboard’.

 


You can cut and paste your abstract in several simple steps. The benefits of this system are many but include:

 

i. Allowing you to preview your abstract and make modifications to your satisfaction.

 

ii. Ensuring you know your lodgement is completed as you will receive an immediate email confirmation

 

iii. Ensuring accurate indexing of all authors in the abstract book

 

iv. Ensuring consistent presentation of all abstracts in the proceedings (overarching formatting is imposed).

 

When you've finished the submission

 

You will receive a confirmation email with your Abstract Submission Reference Number. You can view or edit your abstract by returning to your dashboard.

 

If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact ASN Events.

 


MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR SUBMISSION
Changes can be made to your abstract until the scoring process begins. Just return to your Conference Dashboard and select the Edit option under Abstracts. The edit option will no longer appear once scoring has commenced.

 

 

Scientific Awards

Tregear Award

The Australian Peptide Association is pleased to announce the inaugural Tregear Award for outstanding research in the field of peptide chemistry, which will be made biannually at the Australian Peptide Conference. The award will consist of a medal and AUD $2000 to help defray expenses for attending the meeting.
  
All early career peptide scientists (10 years or less from award of their PhD thesis: allowances will be made for career disruptions)  working in Australia or New Zealand, or Australian or New Zealand residents working in the peptide field overseas, are eligible to apply. Potential awardees will be judged based on their c.v. relative to opportunity, their submitted abstract (which must be selected for an oral presentation at the Conference to be eligible) and the quality of their presentation at the conference.

The award will be judged by an Award Committee who reserve the right not to grant an award if they consider that none of the  candidates were of sufficient quality.

Nominations for the award must be made by Friday 28th June 2013 to the secretrary, A.Prof. Jackie Wilce (jackie.wilce@monash.edu), and must include the following information:

Name of candidate

Evidence of PhD award date

Curriculum vitae of candidate including published research papers, research grants, promotions, honours and any other material relevant to the nomination

Details of Australian or New Zealand citizenship if working overseas

Concise statement of the candidate’s contribution to the field of peptide science and their vision for their future research  – supporting publications should be highlighted

Submitted conference abstract

Names of two referees with detailed knowledge of the candidate’s contributions to the field.
