Instructions for Abstract submissions

THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION HAS NOW PASSED

 

Presentation format

The ECEIM invites submission of research presentations in two formats:

  • Oral presentations
  • Poster presentations

Abstracts for oral presentations will be included in the main program and are limited to 12 minutes followed by 3 minutes' discussion.

What we will consider

Papers relating to recent research into any aspect of equine internal medicine will be considered. It is not allowed to submit abstracts on (parts) of research projects that have been previously published, or presented nationally or internationally prior to the ECEIM Congress 2021.

The submission of an abstract implies the author's willingness to present (oral or poster) the abstract at the Congress.

Both diplomates and residents are encouraged to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentation. ECEIM residents are eligible for 'best oral presentation' and/or 'best poster presentation' award:

LUIS MONREAL AWARD 2021 for the best resident's presentation - SPEAKERS EXCHANGE with ACVIM

ECEIM and ACVIM-LA have agreed to exchange resident speakers for their annual meetings. The two best presenting residents (oral and/or poster) at this year's Annual ECEIM Congress will receive financial support to attend the 2021 ACVIM Forum. The support consists of a waived ACVIM congress registration fee and a lump sum of EU1300 per person to be used exclusively for the 2021 ACVIM Forum.

You must be officially enrolled in an ECEIM residency program at the time of abstract submission in order to be eligible for the award. A fraction of the abstract slots will be reserved for ECEIM residents unless these become vacant.

Submission deadline - MOVED TO 21st May 2021, 23.59h.

All abstracts should be submitted online using this webform before 21st May 2021, 23.59h. Time of submission applies: abstracts might be submitted after 23.59h but will not be considered. 

FOR RESIDENTS: abstracts accepted for oral presentation will be suitable for inclusion in your credentials.

Peer reviews

Abstracts received will be peer-reviewed according to subject categories for scientific content, experimental design, animal welfare, and relevance to equine internal medicine. Decision on acceptance will be notified before July 30th 2021.

Important abstract requirements

Abstracts should be submitted online before 21st May 2021 using the webform. You may submit as many abstracts as you like.Though only 2 abstract per author will generally be accepted. Abstracts should be up to 300 words in length including the title and should be organised in sections (introduction, methods, results, discussion, clinical relevance). Once you submit,  the form will say you can submit up to 350 words, which means that longer abstracts can be submitted, but will be penalised (usually 1% for each word above the 300 limit). Abstracts will be subject to a spell check if the abstract is selected for presentation and will be printed then as submitted. The scientific committee might request clarifications or changes to be made to the abstract. All selected abstracts (oral presentations and posters) will be published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine (online version only). Abstracts will also be published in the proceedings of the ECEIM congress. Submission of the abstract constitutes the authors consent to publication. Presenters of accepted abstracts must register for the Congress by the early-bird deadline and attend the congress to present their abstract. Presenters who are unable to attend the congress should arrange another person to present the paper, and notify the organizing committee. If this is not possible the abstract is likely to be rejected.
