A characteristic feature of the GK Symposium is the emphasis on contributed talks, and the available time slots are often strongly oversubscribed. You are encouraged to submit your abstracts as soon as possible and in any case before the oral abstract deadline (May 13th). To do this you will need to sign up for a SciencesConf account (click on the arrow next to the login button top right) and then follow the instructions under the heading "Abstract submission" on the left.
