Program Submissions

The Program Committee will select some presentations for the oral program from the submitted abstracts and will notify those authors. Other submissions will be offered a poster presentation.

In preparing to make your submission, please ensure that you have read all the information below.

Click on the submission button, which will take you to a web portal, where you can register for the conference and submit your abstract.

The best part of Lorne Proteins is networking and connecting with old and new friends and colleagues. As such, Lorne Proteins’ preference is that all those who wish to present at the conference attend and present in person.

+ Before You Start

  • Ensure you use one of the following browsers: INTERNET EXPLORER (v11 or newer) MOZILLA FIREFOX (v44 or newer) SAFARI (v5 or newer)

  • Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still have issues, please contact the secretariat.

  • Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

    • Ensure your abstract text is less than 300 words as the system will not accept submissions over this limit. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references

    • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system.

+ Review Committee

The Conference Committee will review all submissions before selecting the presentations which will be included in the conference program. Due to time constraints, there will be a limit on the number of selected speaker presentations.

+ Acceptance Notification

The review committee will notify authors of their program decisions in December 2023. Specific presentation instructions will be included in the notification.

+ Web Publishing

Shortly prior to the meeting, the final program along with all posters will be uploaded to the Event website.

+ Student Poster Prizes

A number of poster presentation prizes are awarded at each conference (see “Past Award Winners” page of website).

Only student posters will be subject to judging.

If you do not want to be judged, please indicate this to the conference secretariat if you have not let Lakshmi Wijeyewickrema know ahead of the meeting.

Each poster will have at least one judge allocated, who will usually be an invited international or local speaker. Each judge will have approximately 7-9 posters to assess.

The judge will assess each poster presentation on scientific content, visual clarity and quality of verbal communication.

The best poster presentation as determined by each judge will be awarded a poster prize.
