* Feedback opportunity: Abstract triage
Responding to recommendations from the 2023 World Congress Scientific Committee, a pre-submission abstract feedback option will be trialled for the I.S.P.O. 20th World Congress. The aim of this feedback option is to help authors to improve the clarity, structure, and overall quality of their submissions.
Authors can consider the reviewer feedback and revise their abstract before formally submitting it to the usual peer review process. Requests can be sent by Monday, 14 October 2024 to receive feedback by the end of October to info@ispo-congress.com .
We particularly encourage authors who may be new to writing scientific abstracts, do not have mentors available to give critical feedback or, who may have had submissions rejected previously to engage in this developmental process. Please note that integrating the reviewer feedback does not guarantee acceptance.

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Interested students registered in an undergraduate, masters or PhD programme are invited to submit abstracts to this competition. One 75-minute time slot parallel to other symposia, instructional courses and free paper sessions is reserved for the 3MT student competition.

Applicants can submit their abstract to be considered for the 3MT student competition as well as the free paper and poster sessions given the latter enables a more fulsome overview of their work. Mentoring opportunities* are available.
