Abstract submission for ESCMID Global 2025 is closed.
Abstracts submitted to ESCMID Global undergo review by at least three reviewers. The results of the review aid the ESCMID Global Programme Committee to make a decision whether the abstract is accepted or not for the programme and selection for poster or oral presentations. Abstracts submitted to ESCMID Global must be based on novel data not previously presented or published (excluding poster pre-prints). The ESCMID Global Programme Committee reserves the right to reject submitted abstracts if the data have been published in an international journal, earlier than six weeks before the congress.
Submission of an abstract indicates your consent for inclusion of the abstract in the congress materials (electronic and in print) upon abstract acceptance . If the scientific work has been submitted for publication, accepted, and published in a scientific journal between the ESCMID Global abstract submission deadline and the congress, authors are expected to ensure that data presented during the congress are updated or feature new perspectives to avoid redundancies and duplications of already published information.
