Abstract Presentation – Important Information

Oral Sessions at IFSO-EC 2024 Congress, Vienna, Austria, will incorporate the highest quality submitted abstracts – giving abstract submitters greater opportunity to present their work orally. Abstracts will also be selected for poster presentation.

Poster Sessions will form an integral part of the IFSO-EC 2024 Congress Scientific Programme. Poster Sessions will not conflict with any other sessions meaning that they will not be scheduled at the same time as oral sessions in the programme.  Poster authors will be asked to stand by their poster during scheduled poster presentation times. 

Authors will be notified of the status of their abstract February/ March 2024. Further presentation instructions will be given at this time.
