Call for abstracts

The deadline for submitting abstracts for Physics@FOM Veldhoven 2015 was until 12 September 2014, 12:00 hrs. Abstract submission is closed.

The focal point of the parallel sessions and the poster sessions at Physics@FOM Veldhoven is the presentation of the work of young researchers (postdocs and PhDs).

Parallel session presentations
The programme accommodates 153 parallel session presentations. Both academic researchers and researchers from the private sector are eligible. A presentation should be attractive for a more or less specialised public (about 125 persons) and have a duration of 12 minutes.

Posters sessions and guidelines
The programme accommodates about 380 posters. The programme committee wants to prevent making a selection in the abstracts submitted for poster presentations. Therefore we ask you to adhere to these guidelines when submitting abstracts for poster presentations:
- every group is allowed to present at least 1 poster;
- every group is allowed to present a maximum number of posters. This maximum is fixed on half of the total number of PhD's and postdocs in your workgroup. For example, if you have a total number of 8 PhD's and postdocs in your group, you are allowed to present a maximum of 4 posters.

Themes
The programme committee has chosen the following themes for the parallel sessions and the poster sessions:
1. Light and matter
2. Atomic, molecular and optical physics
3. Nanoscience and nanotechnology
4. Statistical physics and Soft condensed matter
5. Surfaces and interfaces
6. Physics of fluids
7. Subatomic physics
8. Plasma and fusion physics
9. Strongly correlated systems

Submitting abstracts
With the subjoined weblink you can submit one or more abstract(s) for:
- oral presentations for the parallel sessions, or
- poster sessions

The length of the abstract should not exceed 1000 characters (incl. spaces) and the title should not exceed 170 characters (incl. spaces).

The abstract text will not be printed in a book, but will be available both online through the FOM-website and through an app for smartphones. The abstract submission tool allows the inclusion of a hyperlink.

Important!
Please note that the first author has to submit the abstract(s).

Oral presentations
We invite all (work)group leaders and senior staff members with their own group to send in a 'Prioritering voordrachten' form. Even if your group submits only 1 oral abstract, the group leader is requested to fill out the form and email the form to veldhoven@fom.nl. You can find the form in the upper right corner of this webpage. The programme committee will do their utmost best to grant the group the desired oral presentations. Should a selection be necessary, we kindly ask the group leader to point out his or her own priorities in the form.

It is expected that roughly half of the abstracts can be accepted for oral presentation. If your oral presentation is not selected, it will NOT be converted into a poster presentation. It is not allowed to submit similar abstracts for an oral and a poster presentation.

Deadline
The abstract deadline was 12 September 2014, before 12.00 hrs (noon).

Registration
Please note that submission of an abstract DOES NOT imply registration for the conference. Look at our website later this year for more information about registration.
