Abstracts

This year, we are collecting abstracts for all conference proceedings, especially those that are part of the 4D-MB SPP. Each abstract will receive a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and will be published on the official 4D-MB website. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (excluding author names and affiliations) and may include one image.

Please submit abstracts by email to peter.mcphee(at)fu-berlin.de by the 30th of August.
