Call for papers
IMRP Montreal 2011 will use the latest technology to enhance both presenters’ and delegates’ experiences. All oral presentations will be recorded. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to record a three-minute narration onsite and prepare up to five PowerPoint slides related to their posters. With the approval of each presenter, the audio with synchronized slide advance, will be posted on the website after the conference. Each presentation (oral or poster) will be watermarked with the IMRP Montreal 2011 logo to prevent piracy. Only iiA members and attendees will be able to access these presentations until 2012 when they are released to the general public. GUIDE FOR AUTHORS

Student scientific contribution programme
New to IMRP, this programme recognizes the contributions of graduate students who conduct research and prepare papers for publication. When you submit an abstract on the IMRP website, take the opportunity to tell us when a student is a first author of the paper and why he or she should be invited to give an oral presentation at IMRP Montreal.
Posters
Posters will be grouped by theme and displayed for the duration of the conference. The break in the schedule on Wednesday offers delegates the perfect opportunity to network with the authors of posters and representatives in the exhibit area. Delegates can build their own online agenda and meeting planner to manage their time and get the most out of the conference. The presenters of the three most outstanding posters will be recognized with awards and a CAN $500 cash prize. These posters will also be featured in the iiA eNewsletter and on the website.
“This is a unique opportunity to network with leaders—thought leaders, opinion leaders, business leaders and future leaders. The Programme Committee and I are particularly excited by the opportunities to increase participation and involvement with researchers and students who will be the next generations of leaders in radiation processing industry and research”. Eamonn Hoxey Ph.D., B. Pharm., FRPharmS.
