The abstracts submission is now closed!
Please note that submission of an abstract does not automatically
register you for the 15th EFORT Annual Congress.

There is no restriction on the number of abstracts submitted, although a maximum of three oral presentations and five poster presentations will be accepted per registered participant.
All presentations should be objective and provide evidence-based information only. The on-site presentation must reflect the submitted abstract, although updates on results may be added.
