Reminder: First call for communications (2019)
After the closure of the first call on 5 January 2020, the Scientific Committee and volunteer reviewers evaluated 1412 abstracts.
The authors have received the results of this evaluation by mail and on their personal account on the submission website, on 29 April 2020. An abstract was either rejected, acceptable under conditions or accepted.
The submission site reopened from 30 April 2020 until 31 August 2020 for modifications of submitted abstracts. This phase is now closed.
The modified abstracts will receive notification of acceptance or rejection by 31 October 2020.
Authors of rejected abstracts can submit a new abstract to the second call, until 31 December 2020.
After the closure of abstract submission for WPC2020 on 5 January 2020, a total of 1412 abstracts has been evaluated by the Scientific Committee.
We are grateful to all the reviewers.
The authors will receive the results of this evaluation by mail before the end of April 2020. The results will also be available on their personal account on the submission website. You can log in to your account using the email and password that you used for the initial submission in 2019.
As a result of the evaluation, an abstract can be either rejected, acceptable under conditions or accepted.
The submission site will reopen from 30 April 2020 until 31 August 2020, for modifications of submitted abstracts, as follows:
- the authors of abstracts evaluated as ‘acceptable under conditions’ must submit an updated version to have their abstract accepted.
- the authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to use this possibility to update their abstract in case they had new results. They can also withdraw their abstract if they prefer to submit a totally new one.
A new phase of abstract submission will open from 1 september 2020 until 31 december 2020.
Authors of rejected abstracts can use this possibility to submit a new abstract. New authors are welcome.
An “object-oriented session” intends to target an applied objective for the poultry production chain through the combination of complementary disciplinary approaches. Your work has to concern the object, but does not need to be multidisciplinary.

| 2- Pluridisciplinary approaches to reach the One health objectives |
| 3- Towards longer carriers in layers |
| 4- Adapting poultry production to climate change |
| 5- Early management of broilers (embryo or starter phase) |
| 6- Understanding the microbiome for an improved management of Health and Welfare |
| 7- Genetics x environment interactions and epigenetics |
| 8- Reducing the environmental impacts of poultry production |
| 9- Interpretating the citizen’s and consumer’s expectations |
| 10- Understanding nutrition x genetics interaction to optimize feed efficiency |
| 11- Mananagement of broiler breeders |
| 12- Diversity of production systems and services delivered to humans |
| 13- Innovative strategies to answer new expectations from the society |
| 14- Genetics x nutrition interaction on the digestive microbiota |
