1. How do I submit an abstract?

If you want to submit an abstract, you must register with this website as new user . This must be done even if you are an ESHET member or if you attended last year's conference. However it must be done the FIRST TIME ONLY. Once your name is in the database of the 2009 website, you will be recognised anytime you log in.

The procedure is the following:

a) click the words “new website user” in the home page and a new page will appear;

b) If you are an ESHET member , fill the upper part of the screen; if you are not, fill all the fields with a star in the lower part of the screen;

c) Click OK

d) A new page appears which welcomes you. If you want to submit an abstract immediately, click “submit an abstract”. If you want to do it later, logout

e) When you are ready to submit your abstract, login by writing your user ID and password in the area in the lower left corner of the home page. (If you forgot them, click Forgot your password?) Then click “Paper management” and follow the instructions.


2. I have a co-author, but I do not find the space to insert his/her name.


Write your abstract and click "save". The spaces where to insert the co-author , his/her affiliation and e-mail will appear on next page.

3. I logged in, but I got the message: "Your User is already being used, please change it and submit again!"


You are likely to have written your userid and password in the wrong place. You must not write them where you registred as new user, but in the "User login" area, which is in the lower left corner of the home page. See image below.
