Abstract review process for Portugal conference

March 15 was announced as the date for communicating information regarding abstracts that are accepted or declined for Braga.

Several Section and Working Group heads have announced their decisions, consistent with this time-frame. However, some heads have requested more time due to the one week extension at the front end of the submission process and the fact that an exceptionally large number of abstracts were submitted, requiring review.
