We will continuously screen abstracts and return acceptance pre-notifications as soon as possible to your convenience. However, due to a hard limit for the maximum number of talks, some of these might turn into posters, which we communicate in our final acceptance notification.
The abstract guidelines and specifications are all included in the abstract templates. We strongly recommend to adhere to the guidelines to assure readability of the abstract on smartphones or other mobile devices. Templates are provided in rich text format, docx format, LaTeX format, and lyx format. A sample abstract shows the expected format of the abstracts.
Abstracts have to be sent as pdf to png2026@ipfdd.de before the deadline. Registration before the registration deadline is mandatory, otherwise, the abstract will be cancelled.
When submitting the abstract, please specify in the mail the best sessions for your talk (up to two) and which sessions appear most interesting for you. We will use this information for reducing the overlap between the sessions you are interested in. Sessions must not be defined for posters. Sessions will be fixed on 2025-09-05 and will appear with numbers in our program. As an example, one could write for selecting session 3 as preferred session and session 4 als less preferred option:
Session of talk: 3 (4)
Interesting sessions: 3,4,7,8
Since we plan with 2-3 parallel sessions, selecting about 4 interesting sessions will work best for you.
We allow for late abstracts submitted after the abstract deadline. These might be considered as replacements for non-registered or cancelled submissions (up to two weeks ahead of the event). Otherwise, these will be included in the poster session.
