Submission of contribution proposals closed

As many as 243 abstracts received from 23 countries and 4 continents!

The time window for submitting scientific contribution proposals for the CIO 2023 closed on 12 April. We are inundated with abstracts! As many as 243 proposals arrived via the online submission form, divided between 101 oral contribution proposals and 137 posters. Hard work now awaits the Scientific Committee, which will have to evaluate the contents and aggregate them into coherent thematic sessions. Proposers will receive the results on the acceptance of the proposal around mid-May. The desire to internationalise the CIO seems to be bearing fruit: in addition to Italy, proposals for co-authors have been received from – or affiliated with – 21 foreign countries (Austria, UK, Sweden, Croatia, France, Switzerland, Spain, Czechia, Russia, Portugal, Senegal, Lithuania, Germany, Slovenia, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary, South Africa, USA, Romania, Argentina).

Please note that contribution proposals received at the congress email addresses will not be considered.

Deadline for submissions extended to 12 April

A few more days to send proposals to the Scientific Committee

The CIO 2023 Scientific Committee has decided to extend by a few days the deadline for submitting proposals for scientific contributions – oral or poster papers – for the CIO 2023. The new deadline is 12th April, after which it will not be possible to access the online submission form. No further extensions are foreseen!

In the meantime, we thank the many ornithologists who have already sent in proposals on interesting and challenging topics! The outcome of the Scientific Committee’s evaluation of the proposals is expected by mid-May.
