Call for Late-Breaker Abstracts Only 

EASL Protocol for Late-breaker abstract submission:

A late-breaking abstract should contain new information that was not yet known or fully available by the abstract submission deadline, November 26, 2012. The data in the abstract must not be published prior to the meeting.

The late-breaking abstract deadline is not an extension of the abstract submission deadline.

Late-breaking abstracts require a submission fee of Euro 100.00 per abstract to be paid upon submission.

This payment is non-refundable and is related to abstract submission only. It has no bearing on registration and does not guarantee that the abstract will be accepted for presentation at the International Liver Congress^TM 2013.

Only late-breaking abstracts received with payment will be forwarded to the scientific committee for their consideration.

Notification regarding late-breaking abstract’s status (accepted or rejected) will be sent to the presenting author of the abstract by: Mid-March 2013.

• Conclusions (avoid evasive statements like "the findings will be discussed".
  Use only standard abbreviations. Place special or unusual abbreviations in parentheses after the full word the first time it appears.
  Use generic names of drugs. Express numbers as numerals.
  We recommend using word-processing software (for example Word) for editing your abstract and counting the number of words. Typing your text directly into the field is not recommended:
  a: You will not be able to see the abstract after pressing the Submit button
  b: You will not receive a copy of your abstract so please save your abstract according for your records

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT MULTIPLE COPIES OF THE SAME ABSTRACT.

If you are unable to submit abstracts via the website, please contact the Secretariat.
