You will make the organisers lives much easier if you use this template. Note that the
margins are 2.54 cm all round, and Arial font is used throughout. You can simply
delete the text in each box and type your own, and the formatting should happen
automatically. If you copy and paste text, please take care to place the elements of
the abstract in the correct boxes and match the formatting of the template. Your
complete abstract should fit comfortably on a single page of A4.
Do not indent paragraphs; they should be separated by whitespace. If you use this
template, a blank space will appear automatically after each paragraph.
Don’t forget to remove all the text for the instructions on this page and replace it with
your own!
We look forward to seeing you in Bristol!
