Abstracts

Submit abstracts electronically using Adobe Acrobat PDF format (preferred) or Microsoft Word to Angel Abbud- Madrid at: aabbudma@mines.edu. The preferred layout is in two columns, using Times New Roman 10-point font. Refer to the accompanying Microsoft Word template for precise format details. (A link to download the template is provided at the right of this page.) Abstracts are limited to two pages, including all figures, tables, and references. Longer submissions will be cut off after the second page. Abstracts may be on any topic related to space resources and their utilization. See the list above for this year’s emphases, and check previous SRR presentations at www.isruinfo.com.

Abstracts are mini-papers; tell all the information in concise form rather than promising to talk about it. State conclusions and recommendations clearly and briefly. Abstracts may be refused if the Steering Committee deems they are inappropriate or not substantive.

Abstracts are due by April 30th, to allow time for program organization. The Final Announcement, to be sent on May 14th, will include a schedule of talks and posters.

TALK vs. POSTER

Presenters may choose whether to give a talk or a poster (both require an abstract). Talks are 15 or 20 minutes in length (depending on the number submitted), given to the other attendees and accompanied by digital or analog slides. Posters can be up to 36x36 inches (914x914 mm) in size with minimum 18-point font. Use 164-point font for the poster title. Both slides and posters should be sparse with words and dense with pertinent images; readability is paramount.
