Abstracts Submission

Abstract submission is one of the most important parts of putting together a strong scientific congress program, and ICN takes the process seriously.

Abstracts are generally expected to be original work that hasn’t been published or presented elsewhere before the congress, submitted in English through the congress’s official online system. Presenters typically indicate whether they’re aiming for an oral or poster presentation, and oral sessions are usually built around a tight time slot — a few minutes to present, followed by a short discussion window.

A scientific committee reviews submissions and decides which format best suits each piece of work, taking presenter preference into account where possible. Authors are usually notified well ahead of the congress dates so they have time to prepare, and accepted abstracts are typically compiled into an official publication or supplement tied to the event.

Good abstract preparation matters. Clear background and objectives, a concise methods section, results presented with real data rather than vague summaries, and conclusions that are actually supported by what was found — these are the basics that reviewers look for across any serious scientific meeting, and ICN is no exception.

For specific submission windows and requirements for an upcoming congress, always check the current event’s own guidelines rather than relying on details from a past edition.
