Depending on the subject of your abstract, you must send it under one of the following categories:

• Fundamental Sciences
• Clinical Medicine
• Surgery

Depending on the type of your research, your abstract must respect the following structure:

1. Register on our website, log into your account and go to the “My abstracts” tab.
2. Press on the “Submit my abstract” button and fill in the Abstract Submission Form. Please keep in mind that your abstract must not exceed 300 words. While filling the Abstract Submission Form, please do NOT use special characters or diacritics. At the end of the form, you will need to define the Keywords, which will not be taken into consideration when counting the words.
3. After you submit your abstract, you will receive a confirmation email from us (please check your spam folder as well).
4. You can also check if your abstract was submitted by going to the “My abstracts” tab in your personal account.
5. If you wish to submit a second abstract, repeat the steps above.

You’ve submitted your abstract but just realised that you forgot that last important piece of data. Don’t worry! You can edit your abstract by following the steps below:

1. Log into your personal account and go to the “My abstracts” tab. You can view, edit and delete any of the submitted abstracts from this tab.
2. You will be able to edit your abstract before 31 January 2020 (23.59 GMT+2). Only the final version will be taken into consideration.

Our scientific committee will evaluate all abstracts. The members of the committee are specialists in one of the three following fields: Fundamental Sciences, Clinical Medicine and Surgery. The review process is double blind, which means that the identities of both the reviewers and the authors are concealed from each other.

Your abstract will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

1. Basic linguistic cohesion;
2. Scientific Validity – a plausible explanation of your findings;
3. Statistics – use of adequate statistic tests and appropriate interpretation of their results;
4. Applicability – how you position your work relative to current medical practice;
5. Particularity of the Study – a reflection of the study’s novelty factor.

Accepted Abstracts will be announced on our website in late February 2020. The scientific committee decides not only if the abstract is accepted, but also how it will be presented: as an Oral Presentation or as a Poster Presentation.

An Oral Presentation is a 7-minute talk accompanied by a digital support prepared by the participant. A Poster is a graphic presentation of the research on a large sheet of paper. For more information on how to prepare your Oral or Poster Presentation, see also Presentations and Tips for Presenting Authors.

You have two options – you can:

1. Pay the Presenting Author Fee before the Abstract Submission Deadline (31 January 2020)

In this case, you pay the Presenting Author Fee (30 EUR ) first, so that you can book a Workshop. You will be able to book a Workshop instantly. Don’t forget to book it before 19 March 2020.  

By paying the Presenting Author Fee before the Abstract Submission Deadline, you assume full responsibility for submitting an abstract before 31 January 2019 (23:59 GMT +2). Please note that if you fail to submit an abstract, any Workshop booking gets cancelled, your account becomes inactive and you do not get a refund.

When we announce the list of accepted abstracts, if your abstract got accepted, you do not have to pay any additional fee. If your abstract did not get accepted, you may still attend the conference as a Passive Participant. In order to do so, you have to pay an additional fee of 25 EUR (so that in the end you will have paid 30 EUR + 25 EUR = 55 EUR ).

OR

2. Pay the Presenting Author or Regular Fee after the Abstract Submission Deadline (31 January 2020), but before the General Payment Deadline (18 March 2020)

Please note that you don’t have to pay the Presenting Author Fee in order to submit an abstract. If you submit an abstract, you can postpone the payment until after we announce the list of accepted abstracts, but you won’t be able to book your Workshop during this time. If your abstract gets accepted, you have to pay the Presenting Author Fee (30 EUR) before 18 March 2019 (23:59 GMT +2). If your abstract doesn’t get accepted, you have to pay the Regular Fee (55 EUR) before 18 March 2020 (23:59 GMT +2). After you pay, you will be able to book a Workshop before 19 March 2020 (23:59 GMT +2). Our Terms & Conditions apply.
