Introduction: This paper presents the guidelines
to follow to write an abstract for the Mini-MicroNano Dosimetry (MMND) and Innovative Technologies in Radiation Oncology (ITRO) Workshops (2631 January, 2016, Wrest Point, Tasmania, Australia).
Each abstract is limited to one page. This both allows
for the publication of each abstract in an electronic
booklet as well as assists the Scientific Advisory
Committee in the evaluation of the abstracts.
Template: Please save this template file to use as
a preparation tool for your abstract. Replace each
item, such as Title, Authors, Affiliations, et al, with
the appropriate data. The required section headings
are Introduction, Materials and methods, Results,
Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if applicable) and
References.
Format: The length of the abstract is limited to 1
page (A4 format). Margins on top, bottom, left and
right: 2.5 cm. The title, authors and affiliations
should be in single column, whereas the remaining
abstract contents should be double column, single
spaced. The font to use is Times New Roman, with
the font size being 12 pts in the title, 10 pts in the
body text and 8 pts in figure and table captions. The
title and section headings text is bold. Please do not
hyper-link your email address.
Figures and tables: The use of figures and tables
in the abstract is encouraged. Figures may be black
and white, or colour. They should be sized appropriately to fit in a single column. Figures should also be
referenced in the text, as shown in Figure 1. Please
realise that the file size is limited to 2.0 MB when
adding images.

Units: SI units must be used. US customary units
may be given in parentheses after SI units.
Submission: The deadline for submission of abstracts is the 23rd of October, 2015. Only abstracts of
participants who have registered will be included in
the conference programme and in the electronic book
of abstracts. Abstracts are to be submitted in the
same file format as the template, allowing for ease of
integration into the book of abstracts.
Evaluation: Each abstract will be independently
reviewed by two members of the Scientific Advisory
Committee. The Scientific Advisory Committee will
then recommend abstracts for acceptance. A submission is more likely to be accepted if it is original and
innovative. Quality of the work, clarity and completeness of the submitted materials will be considered as well. Authors will be notified about the final
decision by the 11th of December, 2015.
References: References should be written in order of appearence in the reference list, and the following abbreviated style should be adopted:

Instrum. Meth. Phys. Res. A 506, 250-303 (2003).
