Guidelines

Abstract submission guidelines

We accept abstracts for oral and poster presentations.
Abstracts can only be submitted online via the presentation portal. Abstracts sent by email will not be accepted.
You will be able to submit your abstract until 30 November 2025, 23:59 CET for an oral communication or a poster presentation.
Abstracts will be selected after the reviewing by members of the ECCM22 scientific committee.
Abstracts must be written in English.
Abstracts must contain a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 300 words (title and list of authors not included in this count)
Notification of acceptance will be sent on in February 2025
Please familiarise yourself with the abstract guidelines before submitting.
There is no abstract template to be used.
You don't need to add references in the abstract.

If you have any questions about your abstract submission, contact: eccm22abstracts@konferanser.ntnu.no

Submission rules

The grouping of data from the same work is highly recommended. Cutting a study in two abstracts is prohibited and will be sanctioned by the refusal of abstracts.
Please note that you are only allowed to submit one abstract as first author/presenter.
Presenting authors of accepted abstracts must be registered participants at ECCM22.
You may however be a co-author in several other contributions.
Upon notification of acceptance, authors whose abstracts have been accepted for an oral presentation will be asked to provide a full conference paper (4-8 pages). If your abstract is accepted for a poster presentation, paper submission is optional.

Submission

Important notice! We are no longer accepting proposals for special sessions via the submission portal. If you wish to propose a special submission, please send it to eccm22abstracts@konferanser.ntnu.no
