Call for abstracts
Abstract submission deadline 15 January 2012
The Organising and Scientific Committee invite all those involved in any aspect of contraception, sexual and reproductive health care to actively participate by submitting abstracts, either for oral or poster presentation. All abstracts will be peer reviewed and those accepted will be published in a Supplement of the European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care. As only a limited number of oral communications can be accepted, authors are asked to indicate on their form whether they wish their abstract to be considered ONLY for oral or poster presentation or for either option.
Oral Communications
The best oral communication abstracts will be selected for presentation either in the free communication sessions or integrated in a congress session. Authors will need to indicate their preference for an oral presentation on the online form. Instructions for oral communications will be given at the time of notification of acceptance.
Young Scientist Session
A Young Scientist session will provide a special platform for oral presentations by young scientists (below 35 years of age). Each presenter in this session will compete for the ESC Young Scientist Award. Abstracts submitted for the Young Scientist session must be written and presented by a first author who is less than 35 years old on 20 June 2012. Authors, who wish to be included in this session, should indicate this on the online form.
Poster presentations
Poster presentations will carry equivalent scientific status to oral communications in the programme. Instructions for poster preparation will be given at the time of notification of acceptance. A selection of the best posters will be presented in the ‘Best Poster’ session. From this session, the candidate for the Best Poster Award will be chosen. Authors need to indicate on their form whether they wish to be considered for this session and should prepare two slides in case they are selected to present their work. The Congress participants will be given an opportunity to vote for what they consider to be the best ‘Public’ poster award.
Awards
The Best Poster Award, the Best Free Communication Award, the Young Scientist Award and the Public Poster Award will be awarded during the Closing Ceremony on Saturday.
