Abstract submission guidelines

General policies and requirements

The abstract submission deadline has extended to the 12 May 2025.

All abstract submissions will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee as to their eligibility and suitability. Abstracts are rated based on the quality of the scientific content, the educational value and the quality of the written abstract.

The committee may accept or reject abstracts and their decision is final. The outcome of abstract submissions will be emailed on 5 June 2025.

By submitting an abstract, the authors agree to the Speaker/Author Agreement (page 5).

Presenting authors are required to register and pay to attend the conference by 7 July 2025. Co-authors are not required to register, but co-presenters are.

Presenting authors will be able to access a discounted registration rate during the early bird registration period. This rate is applicable to the presenting authors of an accepted paper/extended abstract only; co-authors who are not presenting will need to register at the normal registration rates.

Authors can submit multiple abstracts, but the scientific committee reserves the right to limit to presenting a maximum of two presentations. If deemed appropriate by the Scientific Committee, all other abstracts may be offered as a poster.

Authors of accepted abstracts are required to submit a full paper or an extended abstract in line with published timelines, with full papers being given priority to appear on the program.

If the abstract is selected for inclusion in the program, consent is provided for the presentation slides, video, audio recording and photos taken during the presentation to be used and published by CASANZ including being provided to delegates of the conference.

Online submission is the only method for submitting abstracts for the 2025 Clean Indoor Air for ALL Conference.
