MNF2016 
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Following numerous requests, we [MNF TPC] have decided to base the proceedings on extended abstracts (of 1-2 pages length) instead of longer proceedings papers. You are not requested to submit a 6-8 pages proceedings paper now.

Those of you who have already submitted your abstracts have the opportunity to extend them to 2 pages to include 1 or 2 figures or tables, if you so wish.

We will keep the abstract submissions open now until the 8 April 2016. Again, submissions need to be pdfs. The extended abstracts should follow the formatting guidelines given in the proceedings paper template given on the webpage.
