We are very pleased to announce that over 1150 abstracts have already been accepted for the IRPA13 Congress in May 2012.  We have however become aware that there are still colleagues who would like to submit further abstracts, and hence share their experience and knowledge with the international community.  To meet this demand we are re-opening the abstract submission system immediately, and it will remain open until 29 February 2012.  Since the selection of oral presentations has already been completed, any new abstract submissions can only be considered for poster presentation.  We hope to be able to confirm acceptance within two weeks of abstract submission.  To submit a poster abstract please click here

Please note all authors who submitted their paper prior to 16th September abstract deadline should have received notification about their abstract.  If you have not received any notification please contact abstracts@irpa13glasgow.com who will resend the notification to you.
