COPE invites you to submit your publication ethics work for presentation as a poster at COPE's European Seminar, on Friday Friday 17 April 2015 in Brussels, Belgium.

The deadline for abstract submissions is 28 February 2015. Authors will be informed in mid-March 2015 whether their abstract has been accepted. Posters to present successful abstracts should be about 140cm wide by 90cm high.

The topics considered will be publication ethics-oriented research or information about ethical policies, techniques, collaborations, and initiatives that COPE members and others attending the COPE seminar will be interested in learning about. COPE will assess submitted abstracts for quality, relevance, and suitability for presentation at COPE’s seminar.

One abstract author must be a COPE member and should be able to attend the COPE seminar on 17 April 2015 in Brussels, Belgium. After the seminar, a PDF of the poster will be posted on the COPE website.
