Participants that submitted abstracts for poster presentation should check on the ACCEPTED ABSTRACTS MENU their PRESENTATION DAY.
|
The symposium is an initiative from the Latin American Zebrafish Network (http://lazen.fcien.edu.uy) and PUCRS dedicated to foster the use of zebrafish in Latin America. The event incorporates the third edition of the symposium “O Zebrafish como modelo animal de pesquisa”. The program includes talks and round-tables with international scientists and young investigators to discuss major scientific topics and technologies. A poster session with award will be open to abstract submission and selected candidates will also give oral presentations.
The event is open to the scientific community and welcomes students from all levels and professionals from different fields, working or not with zebrafish.

Posters should be 130cm high x 100cm wide and be hanged before the first symposium sessions of each day (8:30am). Authors are responsible for hanging and dismantling the posters after the afternoon session. Posters should have cords to be hanged up on the available boards’ hooks. More information about the symposium schedule and poster sessions will soon be available at the event site.

Instructions for registration: All participants should use the registration link and follow the registration steps to include personal information and select registration category. (“Avançar” means “go to next step”). Only participants with accepted abstracts for poster presentation need to fill the “Inscrição – Trabalhos” form with Abstract Title and Authors’ information (your name will be automatically listed, just add the co-authors information). This information will be used in the poster presentation certificates. If you do not have an accepted abstract choose “limpar” to remove your name from the authors list in the “Inscrição – Trabalhos” tab and go to the next step (“avançar”) to finish your registration. Credit cards are accepted.
