16. When will I be informed if my abstract/bursary/tournament application has been accepted?
    You will receive a confirmation that your abstract is in the system right after submission of the abstract. Confirmation on acceptance/rejection and presentation type of your abstract as well as acceptance of bursary/tournament application will be sent before the early registration deadline, i.e. 10 April 2019.
17. What do I have to do after my abstract has been accepted?
    First you have to check, if your work is selected for oral or poster presentation and then you need to prepare it for the congress. One of the co-authors must attend the congress and present it in person. Acceptance of the abstract implies payment of the registration fee by the presenting author. If none of the co-authors can come to the congress, another presenter can be announced. Please inform the Abstract Team as soon as possible. If a presenting author does not register to the congress or does not attend the session for which (s)he has been scheduled, a penalty may incur, prohibiting the author from presenting papers at the next EAN Congress.
18. I have chosen "oral" as presentation type, but my abstract is scheduled as a poster?
    The Programme Committee makes the final decision on the presentation type. If you do not want to present your work as a poster, please contact the Abstract Team (abstracts@ean.org) immediately and cancel your presentation.
