Posters

To submit your abstract, you must first be registered for the event. If registration has already been completed, simply access your account and submit as many abstracts as you wish.

All works must be submitted in the format of a structured summary, using the form available on the event website and will be evaluated by the Symposium’s Scientific and Technological Committee (CCT).

Only abstracts accepted by this committee will be published in the event proceedings, made available in the Fiocruz institutional repository (ARCA) and presented in poster format during ISI to compete for awards.

The posters will be presented both in person at the event’s exhibition center, and virtually, on the 8th ISI app.

If your abstract is selected for a poster presentation, it is essential that the author participates in person at the event.

The participant who submits the abstract must be the first author and will be responsible for it to the event organization, receiving all communication and having the certificate linked to his account.

There is no limit of the number of abstracts submitted or co-authored per participant.

The inclusion of the name of co-authors does not guarantee their participation in the event. Everyone who wants to participate need to register individually.

During submission, abstracts must be classified into the following categories: vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, reagents for diagnosis, management and other related topics. And at least two areas of knowledge that best characterize the work must be chosen from a list available on the form.

Doubts and issues regarding the submission of abstracts and presentation of posters will be decided by the symposium’s Scientific Committee, which will seek to respond to requests carefully. All decisions of the Commission regarding the acceptance of abstracts will be sovereign and irrevocable.

  • Content: quality of the scientific and technological data presented in the paper, with clear and expressive results, directly related to the methodology and objectives proposed;
  • Methodology: coherence in the methodology applied in the work and compliance with the formatting requirements for abstracts;
  • Originality: the idea must be original and the work must not have been previously published in a journal or conference proceedings;
  • Relevance: the importance of the work for scientific and technological development, production, quality assurance, management and regulation in the area of immunobiologicals (vaccines, reagents and biopharmaceuticals) and the importance of the work for Brazilian and world public health;
  • Clarity: clarity of the information presented in the abstract, for perfect understanding of the work done.
  • The abstract consists of a text of a maximum of 2250 characters (not including title, authors and institution). The system is programmed not to accept abstracts that exceed this limit;
  • It must be written in English. Texts in Portuguese or any other language will not be accepted;
  • It may not contain figures, graphs or tables;
  • The text must follow the standard: introduction, objectives, methodology, results and conclusion;
  • The title must be typed in lower case, concisely describing the essence of the subject in up to 20 words;
  • When submitting the abstract, the researcher must classify it in the category it fits into: V (vaccines), B (biopharmaceuticals), R (reagents), G (management) and OTR (other related topics) and indicate the area of knowledge ;
  • The abstract must only be sent via the form available in the participant area on the 8th ISI website. Submissions sent via fax, post, e-mail or otherwise than the form on the ISI website will not be accepted;
  • The name of the authors must be spelled out (maximum of 10 authors). Your qualifications (e.g.: Doctor, Professor, among others) should not be included;
  • The name of the main author, who is submitting the abstract for participation, will be automatically filled in first in the list of authors;
  • The first author will be responsible for presenting the work via recorded video, to be made available to all event participants in the poster area or included in the event’s central program. The guidelines for recording this video will be sent directly to those responsible for the work approved at the 8th ISI after the CCT evaluation;
  • We suggest that the abstract text be typed into a text editor before submission, and that each part be pasted into the respective field of the form, taking care that the formatting (such as symbols, superscript and subscript, etc.) is correct;
  • The three keywords indicated at the end of the summary will serve to clearly identify the subject covered in the work and facilitate the search for the work in the Fiocruz Institutional Repository. A keyword does not necessarily need to be made up of just one word, it can be an expression, such as: triple viral; liquid microarray; yellow fever; pharmaceutical care; impact assessment; good storage and distribution practices;
  • The authors of the abstracts selected by the CCT for participation in the symposium will receive detailed instructions for their participation in communications made by email, with guidance on the construction of the poster, video recording and participation times. Register the email isi.biomanguinhos.org as a contact to ensure that communications are not blocked by the security mechanisms of your email server.

The 8th ISI Poster Exhibition will be entirely digital, either in person on digital totems during the 3 days of the event, or on the app as a virtual poster. The virtual poster must be organized in the same way as a traditional printed poster, however, the final version will not be printed, but rather saved in PDF format according to the recommendations below:

  • As a visual resource, the poster should prioritize presenting the content of the work through images, graphs and tables rather than long texts;
  • Since it will be presented on screens (digital totem, desktops, laptops and cell phones), the poster must contain the information in the most simplified way possible;
  • The background of the poster must be white, since the use of photos as a background, behind the texts and other information, makes reading difficult;
  • The text on the poster must be read quickly, for this reason it is not advisable to include running text. Specific information about the research reported has a greater impact and makes reading more attractive;
  • It is not necessary to repeat the entire summary text on the poster, as the texts will be available to participants together with the graphic poster on the work page;
  • To mimic the experience of explaining your poster to visitors, authors may provide a video of up to 5 minutes with a simplified presentation of the poster. The authors selected for the exhibition will receive detailed guidance on how to record this video;
  • The creation and sending of the poster and video for the organization of the event is the sole responsibility of the authors;
  • The poster must be organized as follows: title at the top, name of authors, institutions. Poster structure: introduction, objectives, methodology, results and conclusion;
  • Representatives of approved posters will receive an email with detailed information about participation in the in-person event, the method of submission and delivery deadlines for files for the virtual application, in addition to the date and time for exhibiting the work;
  • If the responsible author is unable to participate, he or she may nominate one of the co-authors of the work to present the poster during the event;
  • There will be a dedicated area on the virtual platform for each poster, which will have the summary, the poster, the video, as well as space for questions and answers and other forms of interaction with the event’s audience;
  • The author who has their poster selected must keep their profile in the event application active and updated, in addition to being aware of all contacts made by the Scientific and Technological Committee, the Independent Prize Evaluation Committee and other event participants interested in understanding improve your work;
  • Interaction with authors both in the in-person exhibition and on the event app is essential to generate public interest, respond to questions from the Independent Award Evaluation Committee, encourage possible partnerships and collaborations and increase the visibility of the work;
  • Interaction with the posters through the application will be essential for the work to compete for the Popular Poster Award, which will be awarded to the work most voted by symposium participants using the application. Each author will receive material to publicize their work in different media, whether through social networks or direct contact with other participants of the 8th ISI, but they will also be able to create their own mechanisms and materials to publicize and encourage visits to their work to increase awareness. chance of being awarded
