Yes! You can choose this option in the form.

How do I write an abstract?
Abstracts are a concise summary of the main findings of your work. Abstracts need to introduce the research field, highlight your aims your methodologies, summarise the results and conclude the impact/significance of your work. We recommend having a conversation with your supervisor(s) prior to submission for advice and feedback.
