Call for Abstracts

We invite you to participate in the 61st Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, to be held June 18-22, 2018, at the University of Toronto Scarborough, Ontario. Sixty-three sessions have been proposed to complement the theme Great Science for Tomorrow’s Solutions.

We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations. All oral presentations will be scheduled for Tuesday, June 19, through Friday, June 22. Posters will be given a high profile on Tuesday evening and made available for viewing throughout the week.

We encourage authors to submit abstracts for specific sessions, but also will consider general contributions. If you are uncertain about the most suitable session for your paper, please contact the session chairs.

• Abstracts should clearly and concisely describe results and the relevance of the work or research plus implications for advancing knowledge and/or effectiveness of policy.
• Write your abstract for a general audience.
• You are responsible for all grammatical errors.

Character Limits

• Limit abstract title to 100 characters.

Abstract Fee

A nonrefundable, nontransferable $50 fee (U.S.) is charged for each abstract at the time of submission. (Have your Visa or MasterCard when you submit your abstract). A paid abstract fee does not imply conference registration, but will be credited toward your conference registration fee. If your abstract is not accepted and you do not plan to attend the conference, your $50 will be reimbursed.

You may submit only one abstract as first author; however, there is no limit to the number of abstracts that you may co-author.
