Call for Research Abstract

Research abstracts, broadly within the scope of any biological sciences discipline, written in English language (max 250 words) to be submitted by the interested participants. Abstracts can be submitted electronically during the registration using the link https://neist.res.in-/iswcpc-2023/ (only .doc and .docx files will be accepted with a maximum size of 5MB). Abstracts will be published in seminar and workshop compendium. A poster (Width: 1m, Height: 1.5m) depicting the major research findings presented in the abstract need to be placed in the poster session during the event (offline mode only). Selected few abstracts will be given a chance for oral presentations. The participants applying for online mode only will not be considered for poster or oral presentation. However, their abstracts will be published in the compendium. Hands-on training will be given to only 25 registered participants on a first come first served basis by the in-house and invited experts during the workshop. There will be awards for best oral and poster presentations. Certificates will be given to all the registered participants.
