Call for abstracts

The Organisers invite scientists, clinicians and researchers to submit their abstract(s) to the 10th World Congress on Inflammation.

Abstract submission deadline : January 31, 2011

For any question on abstract submission, please contact :

TO SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT

  • Abstracts received after the deadline will not be accepted and will therefore not be considered for the programme or for publication.
  • Abstract should be submitted electronically following the easy, step-by-step instructions.
  • Abstracts submitted by email will not be reviewed.
  • All abstracts must be written in English.
  • Abstracts must contain work that has not been previously published.
  • The authors’ conclusions should be clearly stated. General statements such as “the significance of these findings will be discussed” will be regarded unfavourably and will generally lead to exclusion of the abstracts.
  • Initials and abbreviations which are not in common use should be avoided unless they are essential.
  • Remember to check spelling and grammar carefully. Your electronically submitted abstract text will be reproduced as submitted.
  • All selected abstracts will be reproduced, as sent, in a supplement of Inflammation Research (Springer Basel AG)
  • Submission of an abstract does not constitute registration for the congress. Submission of an abstract implies the commitment that the presenting author will attend the meeting and the expectation that financial resources to attend are available.
  • Young Investigator Awards: the applicants must tick the appropriate box during the abstract submission process. For detailed information about eligibility criteria and selection process, see https://.com/?q=node/21


Review process

  • Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee and external reviewers without knowledge of their source.
  • Acceptance or rejection of an abstract is based on the average grade awarded by the reviewers.
  • Selected abstracts will be presented as oral presentations or as posters. A preference for oral presentation can be indicated although the Scientific Committee will make the final decision as to how the abstract will be presented.
  • Authors will be notified of the selection results by email on March 2011 and will receive all technical information and presentation instructions prior to the Congress.
