Call for abstracts

Abstracts submission (free communications & Posters)

How to submit

Abstracts should be submitted through online forms that can be accessed from this page.

  • When the abstract has been successfully submitted, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author. If you do not receive the confirmation, please check your spam folder and, if you do not have it, please contact: info@dual-disorders-congress.com. Authors will have access to their abstracts until the deadline and will be able to edit submitted abstracts and submit additional abstracts.
  • All correspondence related to the abstract will be sent to the authors’ email address.

Types of presentation and contents of the abstract

  • Abstracts may be submitted for oral and poster presentation. In order for the Scientific Committee to be able to make a proper evaluation, you must send an abstract of 300 words maximum.
  • The maximum number of papers submitted per author/first author is 1. If you submit additional papers, you must not be the first author, and you must include other authors different from those of the first paper submitted.
  • The maximum number of papers submitted by the same authors (group of authors) is 2.
  • Abstracts may not include graphs, figures, tables, acknowledgements or bibliographic citations.

To assist the Scientific Committee in making a correct evaluation, the structure of the abstracts should be as follows:

  1. Description of the objectives
  2. Material and methods
  3. Results and conclusions

A limited number of oral presentations are scheduled. A committee will select the oral communications based on the abstracts. The remaining accepted abstracts will be presented in poster sessions.

Incorrect or incomplete submissions will not be accepted or taken into consideration.

If you have any questions, we are at your disposal from Monday to Friday from 09:00 h to 18:00 h – Central European Time (CET) at +34 91 361 26 00 and by e-mail to info@dual-disorders-congress.com.
