Abstract Submission

Abstract submission is now closed. 

Accepted abstracts will automatically qualify for a poster presentation. Guidelines will be provided upon acceptance. A select number of outstanding abstracts will be invited for short talks during the official symposium program as determined by the ACS Publications Symposium organizing committee.

Students are encouraged to submit an abstract of fewer than 200 words upon registration and follow the abstract submission guidelines. Note, submitting an abstract does not guarantee final acceptance. Abstracts are reviewed on a rolling and first-come-first-serve basis.

For questions regarding abstract submission, please contact symposium@acs.org.
