Guidelines for the submission of an abstract

Abstracts should be clear, concise, written, and presented in English (We may arrange interpretation English <-> Spanish, to be confirmed). Presenters are requested to carefully proofread their abstract. For abstracts that are accepted, authors will be asked to prepare a prerecorded video (not only for remote presentations, but also for those that will be present on site). Authors of abstracts that could not be accommodated (due to time limitations) will be requested to prepare information material to be published on a shared public platform. All the presentations and information material will be available via the conference website at https://oceandataconference.org

Speakers delivering presentations will be expected to be present during the session including the Q&A part either virtually or in person.

Limited funds are available for speakers from developing countries with accepted papers. Please indicate if you require support when submitting your abstract.

All abstracts should be submitted electronically HERE by 24 January 2025 (midnight CET).

The following information will be requested in the submission:

  • Preferred session where the paper will be presented
  • Title of the presentation
