What are we Looking for?
We are looking for high-quality basic science, translational or clinical research on all aspects of cerebrovascular diseases. Original contributions are preferred although work providing an overview of a particular field will be considered. We also welcome preliminary data from work in progress, theoretical work and papers on new hypotheses. The major evaluation criteria are quality of the research, relevance of the topic to our audience and impact to the field.

At the review stage, the Programme Committee may change the presentation type submitted by the author to ensure the continuity of the conference programme i.e. oral presentation may be changed to poster presentation OR poster presentation to oral presentation. The presenting Author will be informed of any change to their submitted presentation type at the acceptance notification stage. The decision of the programme committee is final.
Flash Presentation & Poster Format:
Flash presentations are very short talks introducing amazing research which can be discussed in more detail at the poster. Thus, flash presenters will also be required to produce a poster for display at the conference
