Each paper can have a maximum of 1 first author, 2 co-authors, and 2 scientific coordinators. The abstract will only be submitted by the first author, who will also be presenting. All co-authors need to be mentioned before the submission deadline, ensuring that each participant can only be a co-author of two papers, otherwise, they will be removed based on abstract submission timestamp.

In case of extraordinary circumstances, one of the co-authors can also hold the presentation.

The MAXIMUM of abstracts submitted by a participant as a first author is 2, and as a co-author is 2. After the deadline, the submitted abstract cannot suffer any further adjustments.

Papers prior accepted in other scientific manifestations are NOT permitted. We reserve the right to reallocate your paper to another category than the one it was initially submitted to, including the change from Oral Presentation to Poster Presentation, with prior notification of the first author according to the availability of the Scientific Competition and results of the abstract evaluation.

An Original Study, also referred to as a Primary Research Study, constitutes a unique and innovative investigation that explores a hypothesis. This research aims to contribute to the expansion of knowledge by introducing new or revised findings, perspectives, or options.

If requested, the participant must provide the raw data file used for statistical analysis and the complete list of references if applicable.

• Background: Clearly state the hypothesis you are addressing and set the contextual foundation by reviewing existing literature, highlighting the gap in knowledge, and justifying the need for research. This section helps understand the broader context and motivation behind the original study.
• Material and Methods: Relevant details about how the study was conducted, how the data was processed, and how it might vary; specify the number of subjects and the steps taken to execute your research.
• Results: Present the main outcome of your original study in an attractive manner. Create a strong link between the previously stated premise and the final results, relating all of the ultimate data to it.
• Conclusion: This section allows you to summarize the topic and make an objective comparison with the updated specialty literature. You can also add a powerful statement that comprehends the entire idea of the Original Study, allowing new perspectives over your abstract.

A review serves to compile, analyze, and synthesize the available scientific literature to provide a thorough understanding of the current state of knowledge in a field.

• Background: It stands as a hypothesis for your review, accompanied by a brief description of what is known about the subject you chose and its significance for your review.
• Material and Methods: In this section, you should mention how you conducted your review, namely the databases you used, the number of articles you initially found, the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and the number of articles that remained after applying the aforementioned criteria.
• Results: Present the main outcome of your review in an attractive manner. Create a strong link between the previously stated premise and the final results, relating all of the ultimate data to it.
• Conclusion: This section allows you to summarise the topic and to mention whether the given hypothesis is confirmed by multiple studies or not. You can also add here a statement on how the information you provided corroborates with the studies you have selected.

A Case Report is a description of one or more patients, focussing on usual or noteworthy cases that provide valuable insights into rare conditions, unusual presentations of common conditions, new treatment approaches, or unexpected side effects.

Patient files are the key materials when writing a case report. You can find valuable evidence and use it in your abstract, making it unique. However, make sure to protect the identity of your patient by omitting any personal details that might disclose their identity (both in your abstract and your presentation).

• Background: Here you should briefly introduce the key information on the pathology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of the disease, as well as, what makes the case stand up. Please note that no details on the case are to be provided in this section.
• Case description: Provide your patient’s medical history, to set up a broader context and create an important link between a possible etiology and the actual condition, a thorough description of the symptoms/medical issues leading to medical care, details on diagnostic tests, procedures, and examinations conducted to reach a diagnosis. Describe the treatment course and inform on the patient’s progress or complications.
• Conclusion: This section serves as a concise overview, discussing the uniqueness or significance of the case, highlighting the key aspects of the case, and including correlations to relevant literature.

Keywords are mandatory, as they allow you to point out the most important aspects of your abstract. They are a tool to help indexers and search engines find relevant papers, used as a quick reference to increase their visibility. They should be representative but also specific for your paper.

Your abstract should be written in a manner that helps anyone who reads it understand the subject of your scientific paper. Here are some tips & tricks to make your work easier:

1. Aim for a title that is easy to understand and that sparks curiosity.
2. First, briefly write the main ideas for each part of the abstract – this way you shouldn’t forget any essential information.
3. Then, create your sentences but keep it simple! – steer clear of long sentences and useless words. They make your abstract hard to read and you’ll probably also exceed the word limit.

You should:

• Use plurals to avoid indefinite articles.
• Steer clear of adjectives that are meant to emphasize a detail, they are not necessary in scientific writing, try formulating your results and conclusions as clearly as possible instead.
• Not repeat yourself.
• Use a few adjectives.
• Double-check the information you provide, to avoid scientific inaccuracies; your abstract should be up-to-date with the latest research and not employ any details that were previously rebuked by exhaustive studies.
• Make sure to use the appropriate tense for each section and remember that each section requires the use of a different tense.
• Use plural pronouns when referring to the research team, never use singular pronouns in this context.
• Follow the instructions given on this page, to ensure that you have a well-written abstract.
• Use abbreviations only if it is strictly necessary and do not forget to mention what the abbreviation stands for the first time you mention it in the abstract.

Count the words and consider rephrasing so that you will have fewer words. Make sure not to lose any important ideas on the way.

Do not forget to check your grammar and spelling and also to verify the whole information within the abstract at the end.

Please note that not complying with the rules of scientific writing and documentation could result in your abstract not being accepted. The content of your abstract and how you present it is entirely your responsibility, so make sure to be up-to-date with those rules.

All oral presentations, regardless of the category, will be held exclusively on-site between April 25th-26th.

The exact schedule and location information will be shared with the participants before April 24th. Participants will be able to attend the presentation of the abstracts. Make sure to regularely check for updates on our Instagram page.

Presenters’ Duties:

• The Presenters must be present 20 minutes before the start of the Oral Presentations competition.
• The Presenters cannot leave the room before the end of the last presentation from their section!
• The Organising Committee of Congressis is not responsible if any of the conditions specified above are not met.

The official language of the Congress is English. This being given, the visual support, the oral presentations and the short Discussion for each participant will all be held in English. No other language is accepted.

Your speech should be clear and coherent. We kindly suggest that you speak freely, without using any supplementary support except the slides of the presentation. This is a simple manner to improve the Scientific Committee’s opinion on your public speaking abilities.
