As attachment, it should be e-mailed to the abstract handling secretariat on the address enpmeeting@neurofederatie.nl with 'abstract ENP2003' mentioned in the subject box for automatic handling. 
When mailed on floppy disc, it can be sent to Ms. Tini Eikelboom, Netherlands Institute for Brain Research, Meibergdreef 33, 1105 AZ Amsterdam ZO, The Netherlands. 
Receipt of your abstract will be confirmed by e-mail after proper import by the abstract handling secretariat.        
Lay-out of the abstracts should be as follow: title, presenting author in italics, asterisk(s) for various collaborating groups, no dots following abbreviations, body text not exceeding 300 words and at the bottom your name and affiliation, finally whether you are a speaker in session # or a poster presenter in the session of your choice.

indicate here the session number if you are a speaker, or, the poster session(s) of your choice 

Please note once more that the body text of your abstract should not exceed 300 words, otherwise it will be published in truncated form. For abstracts of poster presentations it is very important to mark the poster session of choice: Endocrinology on Monday 2 June, Neuroscience 1 on Tuesday 3 June, Neuroscience 2 on Wednesday 4 June or Cognition & Behavioral Neuroscience on Thursday 5 June.

Oral presentations
Oral presentation times are either 15, 30 or 45 min, all including discussion time. Presentation times are indicated between brackets on the program pages. The moderator of your session will help you keeping your presentation within the allotted time frame.
In all lecture rooms, beamer projectors but no laptops are available. The moderator of the session will provide the laptop facility. 

Ideally all PowerPoint presentations of a session should be loaded on one laptop so that no re-plugging is needed between the talks. For smooth projections via the beamer, presenters are therefore requested to put their presentation file on a CD-ROM and contact the moderator of the session
so that the files can be loaded on a single laptop computer.
All speakers that cannot escape presenting their data on slides are kindly requested to send a message to the meeting secretariat enpmeeting@neurofederatie.nl, so that the organization can arrange a slide projector for their talk.

Poster presentations 
The poster session Endocrinology will be held
on Monday 2 June between 13.00-15.00 h (during which lunch will be served). Posters can be mounted from 09.30 h onwards, and have to be removed before Tuesday 3 June 08.30 h.
The poster session Neuroscience 1 is scheduled on Tuesday 3 June between 15.00-16.30 h. These posters can already be mounted from 08.30 h onwards, and have to be removed before Wednesday 4 June 08.30 h. 
The poster session Neuroscience 2 is scheduled on Wednesday 4 June between 10.00-11.30 h. These posters can be mounted from 08.30 h onwards, and have to be removed before Thursday 5 June 08.30 h. 
The poster session Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience is scheduled on Thursday 5 June between 10.00-11.30 h. These posters can be mounted on from 08.30 h onwards, and have to be removed at the end of the meeting.

Poster selection committees appointed by the three scientific program committees will announce the winners in Poster award ceremonies that will be held respectively during the dinner of 2 June (Endocrinology), the dinner of 3 June (Neuroscience 1), following the EKN Lecture on 4 June (Neuroscience 2) and at the end of the meeting on 5 June (Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience).
