Symposia organzers are reviewing the abstracts that have been submitted to their symposium. In the cases for symposia that have received an excessive number of abstracts, the symposia organizers must decide which abstracts will be presented at their symposium. The criteria for selection involves three factors: appropriate content for the symposium, quality of the abstract, date & time the abstract was submitted.We encourage chemical educators to present their work at the 18th BCCE. The 18th BCCE program committee will make every attempt to ensure your presentation has an appropriate forum.
