Public Submission Instructions

Presenting your research at Europe’s largest neurology forum has always been exciting, and this year will be even more so. A chance for us to meet in person and your opportunity to address an audience hungry for scientific meetings!
Whether you wish to present your work as an oral platform presentation, an ePoster or as a virtual ePoster format, this is the ideal time to share your latest study results with our enthusiastic neurology community.
Important points to remember:

1. Make sure you have an up-to-date MyEAN profile (go here to login or create an account)
2. Check the dates, guidelines, and topics (scroll down this page). 
3. Abstracts must be submitted online via the congress website. Get started with your submission here!
4. If your abstract is accepted, make sure the presenting author is registered for the congress.
    

Please note that the embargo on all abstracts will be lifted officially on Friday, 30 June 2023, 18:30 CEST.
This is when the European Journal of Neurology including all Abstracts will be released on the EAN Website.

1. Abstracts must be submitted via an active MyEAN profile. Abstracts submitted via fax or email will not be accepted.
2. Affiliations of all co-authors must be stated. By completing the abstract submission, submitters give full consent on behalf of all co-authors to provide their data.
3. Abstracts must be submitted and presented in English (UK). Proofread your abstract before submission.
4. Abstracts must contain new and original information not published elsewhere prior to 30 June 2023, 18:30 CEST. See Embargo Policy.
5. Abstracts must be structured under the given headings:
   - Introduction - State specific objective of study
   - Methods
   - Results
   - Conclusion
   - Disclosures - In the interest of transparency, disclose all relationships/activities/interests related to your manuscript
6. If your research has been granted any commercial or institutional support, you will be asked to list these under Disclosures in the submission process. Please prepare a one-sentence statement for this purpose.
7. All abbreviations used must be written out at first use.
8. Simplify complex mathematical formulas. Avoid symbols (Greek, mathematical, etc.). E.g. Instead of IFN-ß, use IFN-beta; instead of 10², use 10^2; instead of x≥2, use x>=2.
9. A maximum of 3 images can be inserted per abstract. Images can only be submitted in JPG or PNG format. EAN may adjust tables or figures to fit files for final publication. Tables must be submitted as a separate graphic file. Tables and images do not affect word count.
10. Abstract titles may contain a maximum of 25 words and 120 characters. Abstract text cannot exceed 250 words in total and 1500 characters per section.
11. Authors must indicate preference of presentation type: oral, poster or oral, poster, or poster virtual. The Programme Committee will decide the presentation type upon review.
12. Once an abstract is accepted, the presenting author must register for the congress. A penalty may be incurred if the presenting author, indicated at submission, does not register for the congress, or does not attend the session for which (s)he has been scheduled.
13. Presenting authors must have active MyEAN user accounts under the submitted email address. Every presenting author can present a maximum of 3 abstracts. The submission system will alert the submitter if the selected presenting author has already been assigned 3 abstracts.
14. Within 1 hour after submission, the abstract submitter will receive a confirmation e-mail with a unique abstract ID. If you have not received a submission confirmation e-mail, email abstracts@ean.org. Make sure to include the abstract ID in all communication with EAN Head Office. The abstract submitter is responsible for informing all authors about the stage and status of the abstract. In the submission system, “Stage” is the stage of submission and “Status” is the status of abstract review.
15. Should you wish to correct an abstract already submitted, email abstracts@ean.org. Abstracts that are submitted or in review cannot be edited. After the final submission deadline has passed, submitters can no longer modify or correct the abstract's content, and the abstract will be published exactly as submitted.
16. If your abstract has been accepted as a poster presentation, you will be asked to prepare a poster in electronic format (ePoster). Guidelines will follow based on the acceptance of your abstract. Presenting authors will present their posters in e-poster sessions during the congress.
17. If you apply for a bursary or for the tournaments basic or clinical, remember to upload the necessary documents. Your application will only be considered if all documents have been submitted and reviewed.
