Applicants will normally be under 35 years of age and applications will be considered annually at the Board of Trustees meeting held in conjunction with the annual conference of the EPA.

  • Language: English
  • Abstract text word limit: 300 words (names and affiliation details excluded)
  • Abstract title: Abstract titles are limited to 15 words or less. The title should be dynamic and conclusive rather than descriptive. 
  • Surname(s) of the author(s): Enter the first (given) name and last (family/surname) name for each author plus institution/affiliation. The affiliation details of all authors - Institution/hospital, city/town, state (if relevant), and country.
  • Content of the Abstract: Titles, authors, and authors’ affiliations are not included in the 300-word limit.

For Research Abstracts:

  • Objectives;

  • Results;
  • Conclusions.

 For Clinical Cases / Case Reports:

– Abstract Text: All abstracts should be 300 words or less. When you write your text, please be sure to use a word processor in order to save your abstract in advance. Please don’t include your title or authors in the abstract text. Do not include references. If the abstract is based on research funded entirely or partially by an outside source, enter the appropriate information (funding agency and grant number if applicable). Also, this information MUST be included in the presentation if accepted.
– Up to five keywords should be submitted. It is recommended to select keywords from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html
– The 47th EPA Congress will only correspond with the presenting author listed on the abstract regardless of who may have submitted the abstract, meaning that the presenting author will also act as the corresponding author. Thus, make sure to include the correct email address/phone number of the presenting author.
– Changes, additions, or corrections will only be accepted up until the abstract submission deadline.
– Abstracts having insufficient research or clinical data will not be accepted.

 

The official notifications will be emailed by the 15th of June 2024 to all accepted presenters. The notifications will include presentation mode assignment (oral or poster), date, and session time.

PLEASE NOTE: If reviewers decide that the submitted abstract cannot be accepted as an oral presentation, the proposal to present it as a poster presentation could be made. All communication between the 47th EPA Conference organizers and the presenter will be done via email. The email address used will be the one you supply when submitting your abstract as the PRESENTING AUTHOR. Please make sure that you enter a valid, long-term email address so that you will receive all important notices that are sent from the 47th EPA Conference Office regarding your abstract and presentation at the meeting.

 

At the time of submission, you will be asked to select your preferred mode of presentation. However, not all requests can be accommodated and the final mode of your presentation can be selected by the Scientific Committee. The 47th EPA Congress will include presentations in the following modes:

Oral Presentation:

  • PowerPoint or Keynote 16:9 format presentation;
  • The sample slide and organization logo will be provided to you;
  • 10 minutes for presentation + 5 minutes for Q&A;
  • You will be requested to send the final version of your presentation 10 days before the conference.

Poster Presentation:

  • Guidelines for creating the posters will be sent to poster presenters along with their poster acceptance notification.
