Instructions for abstract submission
You are welcome to submit an abstract for an oral or poster communication. Priority will be given to abstracts presenting results obtained using the Rhizotest methodology. Abstracts presenting results on the conference issue, obtained using other similar experimental devices (e.g., rhizobox, rhizobag…) but whose results are relevant to the development of the Rhizotest methodology, will also be considered.
We invite authors to submit an abstract for one of the following three sessions:
SESSION 1 - Rhizosphere processes
Studies addressing the understanding and manipulation of physicochemical (e.g., root and microbial exudates, pH, redox...) and biological (e.g. microbial activities) properties in the rhizosphere, as well as their temporal dynamic and their effects on plant uptake of soil nutrients and contaminants.
SESSION 2 - Major nutrients and trace elements
Studies addressing the biogeochemical drivers that govern plant uptake (i.e. phytoavailability) of major nutrients and trace elements (i.e. whether micronutrients or contaminants) in realistic agricultural context and at polluted sites.
SESSION 3 - Risk assessment in multi-contaminated soils
Studies on methods assessing health and ecotoxicological risks associated with the presence in soils of a range of inorganic and organic contaminants (including micro/nanoplastics) and their potential mixture effects.

For Oral Communications and Keynote Speakers
The Scientific Committee will evaluate the submitted abstracts for oral presentations and confirm the presentation type and scientific theme. Abstracts not selected for oral contribution will automatically be assigned to the poster sessions.
We will notify all contributors of the outcome of their submissions, along with details for the talk (15 min for presentation and 5 min for questions for oral communication, and 30 min for presentation and 5 min for questions for Keynote Speakers), once the Scientific Committee has finalized the meeting program.
- Practical information will be e-mailed to you upon acceptance of your abstract.
- For any additional information, please contact us.
For poster presentations
The Scientific Committee will evaluate the abstracts and will confirm/reject your poster.
- Maximum poster size should be adapted to the format: Portrait - A0: 118,9 cm (height) x 84,1 cm (width).
Poster boards and accessories necessary to display posters will be supplied at the venue. - Posters must be presented during dedicated sessions, but be on display for the duration of the whole conference. To facilitate scientific exchange, we recommend that you stand not far from your poster during coffee breaks.
- Practical information will be e-mailed to you upon acceptance of your abstract.
