Conference language is English. Therefore, all conference contributions (talks, speed talks, posters, proceedings) must be presented in English.

Some guidelines to pay attention to:

• Abstracts should be in Microsoft Word text format
• Use Arial font, size 11
• Abstract title should be in capital, bold letters
• Abstract title should be as short as possible
• Do not give scientific names in the title
• Author names, with the presenting author first, should be given on a separate line
• Give the email address of the presenting author and affiliations (university, agency etc. and country) of all authors, using numbers as in the example
• The abstract text should specify the study question, main findings and conclusions plus any recommendations
• Keep methods as short as possible
• Apply capitals as follows: 'Short-toed Treecreeper', but note 'shorebirds'
• Give scientific names (in italics) at first mention in the abstract text
• The abstract text should not exceed 300 words
