Abstracts

We thank all our esteemed reviewers for their assistance in reviewing abstracts for SIU 2021.
All submitters have been contacted regarding their abstract status.

Speaker Permits

All Moderated ePosters and Residents' Forum Presenting Authors require a Speaker Permit to present at the Congress and have been contacted with this information. Without a speaker permit, Presenting Authors will not be able to participate in their respective Abstract Sessions. Please see the Next Steps page for more information on attendance, registration, presentation types and speaker permits.

Late-Breaking Abstracts

The Late-Breaking Abstract submission is solely for abstracts with late-breaking data and not for abstracts submitted “late”, after the submission deadline. In order to fulfil the criteria for a late-breaking abstract you must enter the reasons why your abstract is a late-breaking abstract. Failure to do so, will mean that the abstract will not be reviewed. Please note that a Speaker Permit will be required for a Late-Breaking Abstract submission as well.

Please ensure that the abstract:

• meets the criteria stipulated under Section 4 of the Guidelines (i.e., the abstract has four distinct sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Conclusion and has no more than 350 words).
• includes a disclosure form signed by the Presenting Author. (Additional information can be found under 6 (ii)).

Please submit your abstract by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Late-Breaking Abstract” by September 24, 2021.

Accepted late-breaking abstracts will be presented in a plenary session at SIU 2021 and as an ePoster on SIU Academy. The full Submission Guidelines can be consulted here.
