Call for Posters

Innovate 2015 – Innovations in Education: An Animal Science Curriculum for the 21st Century

Begin a submission to the following:

The organizers of Innovate 2015 would like to invite all attendees to submit an abstract to be considered for the poster session that will be held Monday, June 1 during the conference. All abstracts should be within the general topic: Innovations in Teaching: New and Innovative Ways of Engaging Students in Classroom and Laboratory Settings. Poster presentations may report research findings or they may be demonstration-orientated (methods, technology, tools for teaching), as long as they are appropriate and consistent with the poster session theme or topic. Each abstract will be limited to 400 words and a maximum of one table. The submission deadline is April 15, 2015 at 11:59 PM Central Daylight Saving Time. All posters will be presented on interactive video boards (instructions will be provided once posters are accepted) and may include handout materials.

Submission Instructions:

• Abstracts may contain a maximum of 400 words. The word count excludes the title, authors and institutions.
• Abstracts can be edited until the submission deadline (April 15, 2015, 11:59 p.m. CDT).
• One table can be included with the following restrictions:
  • Please limit the table to a maximum of 8 columns and 10 rows; keep this in mind when formatting the table. Tables that are too wide are not printable, and will be removed from the abstract at the production stage. Please note: In order to maintain the proper structure of your table please create it in Word using the table function.
  • Please note that tables count towards the total number of words and may significantly reduce the number of available characters.
• It is recommended that all abstract components (title, body, and table) be copied directly from a word processing file. The formatting and special characters will carry over directly into the abstract system. No coding will be necessary
• Please ensure that your abstract does not contain spelling, grammatical or scientific errors, as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted. No proofreading will be done.
• The submission of an abstract constitutes a formal commitment by the presenting author to present the abstract (if accepted) as a poster in the session and the time assigned by the Innovate program committee. We therefore recommend that submitters of abstracts register for the congress simultaneously with abstract submission.
• Abstracts not adhering to these guidelines will be rejected. If you do not agree with any of these rules, you should not submit an abstract. The final decision about acceptance of an abstract will be at the discretion of the Innovate 2015 Organizing Committee.
• If you need to withdraw your abstract, a written statement reflecting the reasons for this decision must be sent to the ASAS Headquarters Office (asas@asas.org) no later than April 15, 2015.
