ECP 2023 | Preliminary Programme

ECP 2023 Dublin 17 e Submission of abstracts The scientific committee invites you to participate actively in this congress which will be an extraordinary occasion for the exchange of thoughts and experiences. We look forward to receiving abstracts online for consideration and inclusion in the scientific programme as oral or poster presentation on-site or E-Poster. Please note that abstracts can only be presented (and thus published) on-site, not virtually! Please ensure that you are able to travel to Dublin when submitting an abstract. This also applies for abstracts which are being accepted as E-Posters. The submitted abstracts should give a brief description of the title and topic. All abstracts will be reviewed by mem- bers of the working groups and/or the scientific committee. The reviewers will judge the abstracts according to the relevance to ESP, standard of English, objectivity of state- ment, description of what was done, suitability of methods to aims, conclusions confirmed by objective results, ethics, scientific value, potential clinical value, originality of work and overall impression. All accepted abstracts will be published in an abstract book which is a digital supplement to Virchows Archiv, and online on the congress website www.esp-congress.org . There will be no printed version of the abstract book. The deadline for abstract submission is 19 April 2023 . e Guidelines for Preparation of abstracts e Please choose a title that clearly indicates the content of the contribution. e Please avoid abbreviations in the title (exception: scien- tific terms). Abbreviations may be used in the text if they are defined when used first. e Please make sure to use proper English language . e Please refrain from spelling abstract titles and co-au- thors’ names in capital letters. e The author‘s name (full first name, family name) and place of work (institution, city, country) should be indicated in the respective form fields, not in the abstract title. e Degrees, titles, street addresses and acknowledgements of support should be omitted in the abstract title and text. To provide maximum information in the abstract please e state the specific background & objective of the study e state the methods used, if pertinent e summarise the results obtained e state the conclusions reached e ensure that the abstract does not contain spelling, grammar or scientific errors, as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted. e Guidelines for submission of abstracts e A maximum of 5 abstracts per author will be accepted for submission. Additional submissions will not be con- sidered (without further notice). e Submissions on behalf of other authors cannot be ac- cepted. The original author should submit her/his work and is considered to present it on-site in Dublin. e An abstract which has been previously published cannot be submitted, unless there are new methods, findings, updated data or other acceptable reasons for submitting. e Abstracts are to be submitted in English, the official language of the 35 th ECP, should not exceed 290 words (in total) and be structured in the following specified subtitles: background & objective, methods, results and conclusion . Please stick to the indicated maximum amount of words in each section (40/60/110/80). e Case reports should also be structured as much as possi- ble following the aforementioned categories. If not pos- sible, the authors should upload the abstracts using the most appropriate categories (in the respective text boxes in the submission form). e The abstract submission constitutes a formal commit- ment by the first author to present the corresponding presentation in the session and time slot assigned by the scientific committee. e Changes in authorship should be communicated to the Con- gress and Exhibition Office at ecp-dublin@cpo-hanser.de in order to ensure correct appearance in the printed pro- gramme. e Should the first / submitting author, who is considered the presenter, turn out to be unable to present her / his poster, one of the co-authors should take over this re- sponsibility. A change of the presenting author needs to be communicated to the Congress and Exhibition Office at ecp-dublin@cpo-hanser.de and will only be processed after acceptance of abstracts . Presenter changes, which are being addressed to the Congress and Exhibition Office before the official acceptance notifica- tion, will not be considered. Call for Abstracts
