Read the Author Guide
Planning to present at the ECI Conference Madrid 2027? Our step-by-step Author Guide shows you exactly how to prepare and submit your abstract — it takes 5 minutes to read and will save you time and rejections:
- How to structure your abstract: background, aims, methods, results and conclusions within the word limit (180 words for oral/poster, 500 for symposium).
- What the form asks for: title, type, thematic category (T1-T5), keywords, authors, funding and competing interests.
- Double-blind rules: what to leave out of your title and text so the review stays anonymous.
- What happens after: your reference number, the review process and the decision email.
💡 After submitting you will receive a confirmation email with your reference number (ABS-NNNN). If it doesn’t arrive within a few minutes, check your spam / junk folder and mark it as “not spam” so the decision email reaches your inbox too
