Dear,
I am Vito Latorre and I am currently enrolled in a PhD programme at the University of East Anglia. As I already participated at ASB9 which I found and extremely valuable experience, I am really keen to attend the upcoming ASB10.
I am therefore writing asking more information regarding the abstract submission. Particularly, on the website is mentioned the submission will be opened in March. Is there any date in particular?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Kind Regards
Vito Latorre
