Sessions and Instructions

Abstracts should be submitted to the KRC Organizing Committee through this website's online submission system by February 4, 2013. Before entering the "Online Abstract Submission System," please read the following instructions carefully.

After the registration is completed, login again and proceed to abstract submission. Fill out carefully all the required fields of the electronic abstract submission form.

2) Select the session you hope to present in. Since the Commission Sessions are central activities of the KRC, the Organizing Committee would like you to first check whether your presentation matches the theme of one of IGU's Commissions by referring to the following list. If you find a match with your topic and would like to present in a Commission Session, please select "Commission Session" and then choose the relevant Commission. Finally, choose one Session Theme that best matches your topic. For current information on titles, chairs and contents (abstracts) of sessions organized by IGU commissions, please see below (click the commission name for details).

3) If your presentation does not fit in any Commission/Task Force theme, please select “General Session” or “Joint Session.” If you select the “General Session,” choose one specific topic among the research interest options after entering the online abstract submission system (for detailed list, please click here). Please do not forget to choose “oral” or “poster” presentation.
