INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
1. Abstract Submission – Now on Indico
This year, we are using Indico to manage abstract submissions instead of Ex Ordo. To submit your abstract, firstly, you will need to create an account in Indico here.
Once you have created your Indico account, please follow the step-by-step document we have prepared below. This guide provides clear instructions on how to navigate the platform and submit your abstract correctly.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully the guide we have prepared below before submitting your abstracts. Please follow it step-by-step according to the type of contribution you are submitting to EUSPR 2025. Abstracts that do not adhere to the proposed structure may be rejected.
The guide also includes templates that can be used to prepare the abstracts for online submission. The interface of the online submission tool will provide instructions for the submission process, but we recommend preparing a structured abstract beforehand.
2. Prepare your Abstract
Please ensure you follow all required formatting and submission guidelines. Each abstract should be about 250-300 words and have the following subheadings as a structure: Background, Authors, Methods, Results, Discussion (except for Pre-Conference Workshop proposals). We invite you to prepare and submit abstracts in the following formats:
- Oral Communication | On-site: A formal, research-based 12-minute-long presentation with a focus on high quality prevention research (including methodology, epidemiology, aetiology, intervention outcomes, implementation, evidence-based programmes and policy, etc.). Talks will be followed by a short Q&A session (3 minutes). Usually, oral communications are grouped together in conference sessions of 60 to 90 minutes (4-6 presentations). Presenters must register to the conference.
- Poster | On-site: Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion. The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. Posters should be in portrait orientation. If your abstract is accepted as an poster, you will receive instructions in a separate email. Presenters must register to the conference.
- Campfire | On-site: A campfire is a less structured form of discussion, where usually one or two presenters talks about their work, an important idea, development or concept for 10-15 minutes each, and then act as their own facilitators, inviting comments, insights, and questions (10-15 minutes) from audience members in the room. Campfire sessions usually last between 30-60 minutes. Please note: Due to limited space at the conference, only few campfire sessions will be accepted, and you might be asked to present as an oral communication or poster instead. Presenters must register to the conference.
- Symposium | On-site: A symposium includes a chair, three to four presenters, and a discussant (optional). Symposia are scheduled in 60 to 90-minute time slots (4-6 presentations) and should allow for discussion among presenters and the audience. PLEASE NOTE: The symposium is submitted as a single abstract by the chair of the symposium. As chair, please provide a tentative title of the symposium, a short, structured abstract (see above) of the entire symposium, as well as the title, authors and abstracts corresponding to each presentation that is supposed to be part of the symposium. Symposium chair, discussant and presenters must register to the conference.
- Pre-Conference Workshop | On-site: A pre-conference workshop will be set on the pre-conference day (Sept. 23). It usually lasts between 3-8 hours, in the morning and/or the afternoon. Therefore, please indicate if your submission refers to a half-day or a full-day workshop. Workshops are quite practical and provide hands-on information and interaction regarding prevention science topics. Each pre-conference workshop includes at least one chair (submitting author). Please also indicate the number of participants that can attend your workshop. Pre-conference workshop facilitators must register to the conference.
The Scientific Committee will make the final decision to accept or reject submissions.
