The abstract is a concise summary of a research paper, which must be an original work, not an excerpted passage. It should provide useful and clear information regarding your research paper. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper. It should highlight key content areas, your research purpose, the relevance or importance of your work, and the main outcomes. We encourage work that introduces new ideas, concepts, research and deepens understanding in various fields.
Important information regarding abstract submission:
An active participant can have maximum four presentations/posters, but only two as an author.
The options are:
- 2 presentations/posters as an author, 2 presentations/posters as a co-author

SCIENTIFIC SECTIONS
Each active participant should submit the abstract in one of the following scientific sections:
ORAL SESSIONS
for Medical Students and Young Doctors
Fundamental Sciences
The Fundamental Sciences section refers to the preclinical specialties. These range from the specialties that present the normal state of the human body (Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Immunology, Genetics), to those dealing with the pathological side (Microbiology, Anatomical pathology, Physiopathology) and those presenting the wide variety of pharmacological agents involved in the treatment of each pathology (Pharmacology, Alergiology, Toxicology).
Surgical Sciences
The Surgical Sciences section contains all the surgical specialties, from the General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics to Urology, Orthopedics, Ophtalmology, ENT, Pediatric Surgery. Alongside these, this section will host the papers dealing with aspects from the Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care and Anesthesiology specialties.
Internal Medicine
The Internal Medicine section comprises the wide range of medical specialties, varying from the ones treating localized pathologies such as Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Pneumology, Psychiatry to systemic ones such as Endocrinology, Diabetology, Neurology, Oncology, Hematology, Rheumatology. Added to all these specialties referring to the adult patient, this section will host the scientific papers from the numerous Pediatrics specialties.
Behavioral and Social Sciences
The Behavior and Social Sciences section has a great value because medicine is more than drugs, surgeries, symptoms and syndromes; medicine is dealing with individual patients, each with their own background, fears, beliefs, culture, psychological terrain. The Behavior and Social Sciences section will thus, contain papers dealing with the difficult ethical medical decisions and attitudes and possible solutions to, sometimes apparently impossible, ethical problems.
POSTER SESSIONS
for Medical Students
Case Presentation
The Case presentation section is consisting of cases that were noticed during the daily medical practice for their novel characteristics on their clinical features, their treatment and their evolution.
