Submit your abstract

At the heart of every conference are the people who make it possible: the invited speakers representing their institutions and organizations, the participants who listen, discuss, and connect, and above all those who contribute by sharing their knowledge and experiences through oral and poster presentations. We warmly encourage you to be part of this exchange and look forward to discovering the latest insights, research, and experiences you wish to share with the community.

Choose the presentation format that feels most appropriate and comfortable for you, and submit your title and abstract so that our academic committee can review your proposal and determine how it can best contribute to the conference program.

Language

The official language of the Conference will be English. However, if you do not feel comfortable presenting your research in English, you may indicate this during the submission process and deliver your oral presentation in your native tongue (Spanish or Portuguese) as long as the title, abstract and presentation material/slides are presented in English.

Eligibility

Abstracts will only be considered if the presenting author has successfully registered for the conference and the registration fee has been received.

The first author must be the presenting author for both oral presentations and posters. However, in cases of justified inability to attend the conference, a co-author may be allowed to substitute as presenter.

There is no limit to the number of submissions as first author.

General Instructions

Deadline for abstract submission: June 15, 2026

• Maximum 250 words (title not included).
• Authors are encouraged to structure their abstracts as follows:
  1. Introduction and Objectives
  2. Materials and Methods
  3. Results, Discussion, and Conclusion

The Scientific Committee will carefully review each submitted abstract and determine the most suitable presentation format (poster or oral presentation). The committee may also request minor modifications to the content or corrections to language if necessary.

For the first time this year, authors will also be asked to provide an additional short text (maximum 100 words) explaining why their presentation is a meaningful contribution to primatology and how it may help promote primate welfare and conservation. This paragraph should be written in a more accessible and less technical style, serving as a short teaser accompanying the scientific abstract.

All accepted abstracts will be published after the conference in an open-access journal. If any author prefers not to publish their abstract, this should be indicated during the submission process.

Please download the abstract submission template (Word) and, once completed, send it by email to: [email protected]

Poster Presentations

Posters must be printed in A0 size and portrait orientation. Please ensure that your poster is printed before arriving at the conference and bring it with you.

We encourage participants to consider environmentally friendly printing practices, such as avoiding excessive use of dark background colors that require large amounts of ink.

There will be a designated poster session each day of the conference. During these sessions, presenters are expected to remain near their poster to answer questions from conference participants.

Posters will remain displayed throughout the entire conference, but presenters will be asked to remove and take their poster with them at the end of the conference.

Oral Presentations

Each oral presentation will be allocated a 15-minute time slot. To allow sufficient time for questions and discussion, presenters should aim for a 10–12 minute presentation.

Please note that the schedule will be strictly enforced, and moderators may interrupt presentations that exceed the allotted time.

Slides must be uploaded prior to the conference, at the latest on the morning of the day of your presentation, so they can be tested and pre-loaded onto the conference computer before the session begins.

Further instructions will be sent directly to presenters ahead of the conference.
