Good news! After a successful annual meeting in Turkey in September, we plan to network, learn, teach and brainstorm again. This year, we will meet each other in Porto, PORTUGAL, from 3-5 MAY 2023!
Preregistration information – PREREGISTRATION CLOSED
We invite all of you who are planning to join us in Porto on 3-5 May 2023 to fill in a short questionnaire. More information and official invitation will be sent only to the pre-registered attendees.

Abstract submission – SUBMISSION CLOSED
During the meeting there will be room for all of you to present your current research or upcoming projects. Abstracts of maximum 200 words can be submitted via e-mail until Friday, March 31th, 2023 at 23.59h. GliMR abstract prices will be awarded during the meeting.
Two types of abstracts can be submitted: a ‘classic abstract’ and a ‘project abstract’.
1 – Classic abstract
The ‘classic abstract’ presents results from a recently executed study or project. Abstracts containing data from a recently published study are allowed as well.
Follow the standard abstract structure: introduction, methods, results, discussion, references.
Email subject: GliMR_classic_NameResearcher
2 – Project abstract
The ‘project abstract’ allows researchers to present an ongoing or planned study or project. Reporting results is not mandatory. This type of abstract is open for all members, but mainly encourages early career researchers to present their work. It offers the opportunity to set-up collaborations, open up discussion, or present remaining project issues.
