Abstract submissions are accepted only electronically by using the on-line submission system. Abstract submission form opens on January 5, 2024, and closes on March 4, 2024 (23.59 CET) -> extended until March 18 (23.59 CET).

Accepted contributions will be presented as poster presentations. Acceptance of the abstract is subject to acceptance by the Scientific Committee and the Committee has all rights to accept or reject the abstract. The acceptance letters will be sent by the end of March, 2024 (subject to changes).

All accepted abstracts will be published at the congress, subject to the author registering as a paid delegate. The accepted abstracts will be published as typed by the author, including any errors in grammar, spelling or scientific facts. 

We accept abstracts that have not been previously accepted, published and presented elsewhere. The abstract can be on the same subject or the same study as published earlier but it cannot be the identical abstract as presented earlier. Please notice, that an abstract is not considered or compared to an article publication.
