• 1. General principles

  Abstracts presented at the European AIDS Conference must represent original scientific work. Encore submissions, meaning abstracts that have already been presented elsewhere, are not accepted. However, encores that contain substantial new data will be considered.

  2. Abstracts accepted at another event

  If an abstract has already been accepted for presentation at another scientific event that takes place before the EACS conference, it must be withdrawn from EACS. If the other event takes place after the EACS Conference, the abstract may still be presented at the Conference as original work. In such cases, the subsequent presentation will follow the rules of the other conferences or congresses.

  3. Abstracts submitted to journals

  – Abstracts that have already led to a full publication before submission for the EACS Conference cannot be presented and must be withdrawn.

  – If the corresponding full paper is scheduled for publication only after the Conference, the abstract may still be presented at the Conference, provided this is in line with the journal’s policy. In these situations, authors are strongly encouraged to request an embargo from the journal until the day of their conference presentation.

  – For complex or borderline cases (e.g. submission of the paper comes after the submission of the abstract but leads to a full scale publication before the conference), the final decision will be made individually by the EACS President (contact abstracts@eacs-conference.com).

Presenters must be registered for their abstract/clinical case to be included in the conference programme and abstract book. Please note that Exhibition Only registrations are not considered valid for this requirement.
