ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All abstracts should be submitted at the iusti-europe2022.org via Submit Abstract. Abstracts sent by email will not be considered.

Abstracts should contain new information and not have been presented in a peer reviewed journal or conference before. We strongly discourage submission of abstracts that contain incomplete data and/or analysis. Interim analyses of larger studies are welcomed.

The presenting author will be required to register for the Congress by the Aug 15 2022 (23:59 CET), to have the abstract acceptance confirmed. If a presenting author is not registered by that day, the Scientific Committee will remove the abstract from the programme.

All accepted Abstracts for oral and poster presentation will be in the abstract book if the author (or representative) is registered and can present the data in-person or virtually.

The presented abstract should be unique, i. e. has not been somewhere used before.

All abstracts will be reviewed, scored, and accepted or rejected by the Scientific Committee. The Committee reserves the right to determine whether an abstract submission is accepted as an oral or poster presentation. The decision of the Committee will be final.
