The Organizing Committee received over 500 abstracts, which were sent for review to the appropriate sections. We remind you that the Organizing Committee reserves the right to assign abstracts to sections at its own discretion. A number of abstracts were rejected by reviewers, and their authors were notified of this by letter.
The number of abstracts was not limited, but each person could only be the first author for one abstract.
The Organizing Committee is currently finalizing the received abstracts and beginning to develop the Conference Program. Accepted abstracts have been sent to the publisher for publication of conference materials, which will be distributed to participants during the Congress.
Confirmation of authors' participation and the presentation format will soon be posted on the website of the V.E. Sokolov Theriological Society. We remind you that the registration fee (2,000 rubles per participant, 1,000 rubles per postgraduate student) will be paid upon arrival at the conference.
