DEADLINE: The abstract submission system will close on December 3rd, 2025, 23:59 CET. This abstract receipt deadline will remain firm, and any abstracts received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Instructions for Abstract Preparation

You can download the instructions by clicking here. Please read them carefully.

Please read the instructions carefully before starting to submit your abstract. All abstracts must be submitted in English and must be submitted electronically. Therefore, no paper abstracts will be accepted. Abstracts not prepared correctly will not be considered for review
Abstract authors should not split data to create several abstracts from one data set. If splitting is deemed to have occurred, scores of related abstracts may be reduced or abstracts simply rejected.

Review Process

The submitted abstracts will be examined anonymously by the ESICM Conference Committee. The authors will be informed of acceptance/rejection of their abstract by e-mail. All abstracts selected for presentation at the Conference will be either presented as an oral or an e-poster presentation. There is NO publication in the ICMx Journal (= NO Abstract Book).

General Instructions

• Abstracts must be submitted in English and should not exceed 3000 characters, including spaces (abstract title, list of authors and references not included in this count).
• Images and tables may be included in the abstract. Images must not contain QR codes.
• Do not submit abstracts reporting data already published.
• Abstracts should be as informative as possible.
• All accepted abstracts will be presented in e-poster form. The Scientific Committee will also select a limited number of accepted abstracts for oral presentation. Instructions for e-poster will be sent to the corresponding authors after the review process.
• Preference will be given to new and/or ongoing work.
• Abstracts are to be submitted using the online Abstract Submission System only. ESICM does not accept submission of abstracts by mail, fax or email.
• Abstracts should not contain proprietary or confidential information.
• The presenting author of an accepted abstract must be registered to the Conference.
• Please do not submit multiple copies of the same abstract.

Notes:

• Submission of an abstract constitutes a formal commitment by the author to present the abstract in the session and at the time decided upon by the Conference Committee. One of the co-authors can take over if needed. Failure to present the abstract, for other than duly motivated reasons, will lead to rejection of abstract submission at the next ESICM Event.
• Registration fees for the presenting author will not be waived.
• It is the authors’ responsibility to submit abstracts in perfect order with no errors in spelling and grammar. Abstracts will not be corrected.
• The authors agree that ESICM will record the presentation for subsequent use, as it deems appropriate.
• The signing author certifies that any work with human or animal subjects related in this abstract complies with the guiding principles for experimental procedures as set forth in the Declaration of Helsinki and related publications.

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in the automatic rejection of the abstract.
