Senior Oral Presentation: this format is suitable for ground-breaking advances or applications of spatial epidemiology and spatial statistics methods. Presenters will have 20 minutes, followed by 5 minutes discussion.
Regular Oral Presentation: this format is suitable for novel applications of spatial epidemiology and spatial statistics methods. Presenters will have 12 minutes, followed by 3 minutes discussion.
Poster: this format is suitable for preliminary work or applications of spatial epidemiology and spatial statistics methods.

Please note that all authors (including students) may submit one or more abstracts for regular oral or poster presentations, but only one for senior oral presentation.
