10. Abstracts will be made available to conference participants as submitted to the Book of Abstracts— no editorial changes will be made.
11. Please remember that in addition to submitting an abstract by 16 March 2009, you must also register for the conference. Note that your abstract will only be published in the Book of Abstracts after we have received your payments accordingly.
1. The deadline for abstract submission is 16 March 2009 (NB! Extended until 23 March, at 9.00 the morning (Finnish time).
2. Applicants will be notified by e-mail as to whether their abstract was
accepted by 15 April 2009.

the abstract submission form
4. Write and save your abstract on your own computer in Microsoft Word format according to the instructions. Abstracts should be submitted as Microsoft Word for Windows documents with a “.doc” extension. If this is not possible, save it as a Rich Text File (.rtf). The abstract should be saved using the filename “nanoeh2009_author’s surname” (eg.nanoeh2009_savolainen.doc).
5. Fill in the online abstract submission form and enclose the abstract in word format. You will find detailed instructions as to how to proceed on the submission form. Remember to choose the theme and mark whether you prefer an oral or poster presentation.
6. After the abstract submission, an automatic reply will be sent within 15 minutes to the e-mail address given on the form, confirming successful submission of the abstract.
7. Please post or fax a copy of the abstract to the organizers to: TAVI Congress Bureau, Papinkatu 21, FI-33200 Tampere, Finland, Fax. +358 3 233 0444.
8. Note that submitting an abstract represents a commitment to attend the NanOEH2009 Conference; you must register at the time you submit the abstract. Abstracts without a registered presenter will not be reviewed. NB! Registration payments must be made within few weeks after the letter of acceptance has been sent to the presenter in April 2009. Therefore when submitting your abstract and filling-in the online registration form, please also consider how you will make the registration payment in the begining of May.
