The organization of an International Congress is a complex process, very demanding in terms of time
and costs. This has certainly been the situation for all organizers in the close to 25 years of history of
this conference. Trying to find the right time, the adequate space and the most convenient financial and
organizational arrangements requires plenty of negotiations, accommodations, and flexibility. All in all we
are moving along to have a successful meeting. Nevertheless, we would have liked to have details on
registration more promptly and we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.
DATES AND LOCATION
The Congress will take place on 10-13 August 2016 at the Sol de Oro Hotel in Miraflores, Lima
(www.soldeorohotel.pe). Our venue is a 5 star hotel with prime spaces for the meeting. Moreover, its
location facilitates transportation, saving time and concerns about Lima’s traffic. Security has also been an
important factor in making this choice. Participants can stay in this hotel with promotional rates, and there
are many other choices in the vicinity.
The workshops will take place on Saturday 13 at Casa O´Higgins a museum of the Catholic
University (PUCP) (https://esla.facebook.com/CasaOhiggins), in downtown Lima (Jirón de la Unión 554).
We are organizing visits in the surrounding areas so you can also enjoy this historical part of Lima.
PRESENTATIONS
Twenty-two symposia have been accepted for the program (list in www.mummycongress.pe).
English will be the official language of the meeting. We are organizing the availability of simultaneous
interpretation for a fee.
There are two types of presentations:
Symposia: Composed of four to eight fifteen minute podium presentations. Each symposium will present
studies on a specific theme. The time to propose symposia has now passed. Acceptance of the symposium
proposal does not guarantee acceptance of individual abstracts that will be subject to submission deadlines
and review as all other presentations.
Posters: Comprised of communications on study cases, novel techniques and methodologies, diagnostic
criteria or ongoing research.
Each participant may deliver up to two papers as first author either as podium or poster presentations.
To be included in the program each symposium needs a minimum of four accepted presentations. Otherwise
the papers accepted will be included in the free topic session.
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES
Early registration fees can be paid until 15 January:
US$150 for professionals and the general public,
US$70 for students.
After this date, the fees will be US$200.00 for professionals and the general public, and US$100 for
students.
The collection of fees has been one of the most complicated issues to organize. We have tried to keep fees
at a minimum and this requires a minimum cost for transfer and bank fees at both ends. We have found
payment through VISA as the most convenient for international transfers.
If you are in Peru please go to the web page of the congress, complete and send the registration form
and deposit or transfer your fee in US dollars to the account of Centro Mallqui at Banco de Credito
(www.viabcp.com). A sales ticket (boleta) or invoice (factura) will be made upon your request. Send us a
copy of the receipt for the money transaction for our records. Please make sure you send all the relevant
information to identify the transaction.
Account number: 193-1751238-1-81
CCI number for transfer from other Peruvian banks: 002-193-001751238181-19
Account name: Centro Mallqui

If you are abroad please go to the web page of the congress (www.mummycongress.pe), complete the
registration form and send it. You can follow the instructions to complete the process of payment using a
VISA card.
In both cases you will get a unique registration number that will allow you to submit up to two
presentations (podium or poster).
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS
The congress website will go online on 05 December 2015. All submissions must be completed
online no later than 23:00 GMT, 05 February 2016.
You must register at the congress website www.mummycongress.pe, pay the congress fee, and follow
the link for Congress Submission. Please read the instructions and prepare your submission prior to
logging on.
Each main author is limited to two (2) reviewed submissions. Each presentation may be submitted to
only one symposium or to the free topic or poster sessions. Each participant must use one e-mail address
for all submissions.
Submissions will be entered online indicating type of presentation (podium or poster), title, author(s)
and the affiliations and email addresses of each author, a 300-word abstract, and other information (e.g.,
student authorship, special requests). Tables, graphs, and pictures associated with your submission can
be included in various formats. Pictures and graphics will be required to illustrate the Congress program.
You must indicate the symposium of your choice on the online submission form. No abstract may
be submitted to more than two sessions. You should send your paper to the session that is closest to the
topic of your paper. Please make sure that the abstracts have not been published previously.
Abstracts must be sufficiently detailed to allow the symposium coordinator(s) and the Scientific Committee
to judge the merits of the paper, including a description of the topic studied, the theoretical view, the data
and research methods, and the findings.
You need to identify who will present the paper or poster. Each participant may serve as the presenter
for only two (total) papers or posters, regardless of the number of podium presentations and posters on
which is an author or co-author.
You must upload your proposal to complete the submission process. Each abstract submission will
be assigned a unique tracking number. Upon completion of the submission you will receive an automatic
email acknowledgment including the tracking number. You can upload up to two abstracts that will get each
a unique tracking number.
Decision notices will be sent up till 05 April 2016. The number of symposia is limited due to time
availability. Every effort will be made to accommodate your proposal as requested, nevertheless your
podium proposal may be accepted as a poster display due to the limited time for oral sessions during the
three days of the congress. If your submission is accepted as a poster, you will be expected to prepare a
poster display of your research.
Abstracts will be published in a PDF web format and in a paper volume. All meeting rooms will be equipped
identically with a screen, an LCD projector and a pc laptop.
Guidelines for poster presentations
The poster display area is 120 cm (4 feet) height x 90 cm (3 feet) wide. Text should be double-spaced with
16-20 point characters, it should have a vertical orientation. It should be legible from a distance of 150cm
(5 feet) away. At the top it should have a space of 15 cm height up to 90 cm long for the title, authors and
affiliations.
Provided the time required is available and considering security concerns at airports, it might be more
convenient to print the poster in Lima. We will have suggestions for this alternative.
SOCIAL PROGRAM, TRAVEL IN PERU AND COMMUNICATIONS
We are working on a social program, as well as special arrangements for organized trips in Peru to visit
sites, museums and places connected to research on mummies, We will post news on this in the web
page. Several members of the Organizing Committee are checking on the offers in Lima for a nice dinner
with music and dancing.
Please send any queries to: [email protected].
