call for Abstracts 

Papers must be relevant to the Conference themes Learn. Share. Transcend. The contribution of presenters is critical and we greatly value your input. You will be able to submit your paper for either oral or poster presentation. 

Guidelines for Abstracts

  • The abstracts must not exceed 250 words.
  • All abstracts must be typed, single spaced, with a clear typeface.
  • Title should be in capitals and underlined and placed at the top of the abstract.
  • Author’s name should be in capitals, with the name of the presenter indicated by an asterisk (*).
  • Degrees and positions in departments should not be included, but the origin of the work should be stated.
  • The abstract must be clear and brief. 
  • Statements should, in general, be impersonal and the first person “I” and “We” avoided.
  • The abstracts will be presented at the meeting as a PowerPoint presentation. Presentation should be a maximum of 5 minutes with 3 minutes for Questions.
The abstract should be organised as follows:

  • Purpose of study. Why was the study performed?
  • A brief statement of methods. How was the study done?
  • A summary of the results adequate to support conclusions. What did you find?
  • Conclusions.
