The Abstracts
The Online abstracts submission is now closed
Abstracts submission web-based software is now closed to post abstracts for presentation at the 21st Annual Congress that will be held on 21-24 September 2008 in Lisbon.
Each submitter will be personally informed about the abstracts selection results by email beginning of July. Don't forget to register to the congress, ideally before 24 July 2008 to benefit from early bird rates. Also, book your hotel room as soon as possible.
An abstract search engine will be open after posters selection, i.e. in July 2008.
As you know, some abstracts may be presented under the ECCRN label. In addition, some abstracts will be preselected for Poster Awards.
The Supplement issue of our journal Intensive Care Medicine is published with the September issue. The full text of the abstracts will be made available online: use it to prepare for the congress by reading the abstracts you would like to look at onsite once in Lisbon!
The Berlin 2007 abstracts are available from the Supplement issue of the journal Intensive Care Medicine.
