ARTERY 23

Submit your abstract to ARTERY23.

ARTREY23 will be held from 5 – 7 October 2023, taking place in Bonn, Germany. 

We welcome abstracts for both oral and poster presentations dealing with clinical research, experimental studies, epidemiology, biomechanical, methodological and imaging research related to large artery structure and function.  The presentation of data at this meeting will provide the opportunity for scientific interaction and discussion with a highly informed audience.

Abstract submissions are very much encouraged, and prizes will be awarded for the best oral presentation by a Young Investigator and the best poster presentation. The winner of each category will be announced at the conference. All abstracts will be published in the programme and abstract book.

Deadline for Submissions: 23:59 GMT Monday 3 July 2023

Using the abstract submission system:

Submitting an abstract is a multi-step process. Some questions are marked “required” and you will not be able to complete your submission until these questions have been answered.  You will save your work as you proceed through the pages. If you must stop part way through the process your submission will be saved, but not submitted until you return later and complete all the questions. When you log in again you can click on your incomplete abstract and resume submission.

• Submission of an abstract acknowledges your acceptance for the abstract to be published in the official conference publications.
• Presenting authors of abstracts must be registered participants of ARTERY 23.
• Abstracts must be original and must not be or have been published or presented at any other congress prior to ARTERY 23.
• Abstracts must be submitted and presented in clear English with accurate grammar and spelling.
• Abstracts must be received by the announced deadline. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered.
• Abstracts stating “data will be discussed in the presentation” will NOT be accepted.

Please read the instructions below carefully before preparing your abstract:

• Aim to capture the conference committee’s interest
• Be clear and concise
• Check the abstract carefully, or better still, ask a friend who doesn’t know the work to check it for spelling, grammar, readability and clarity

ABSTRACT CONTENT

1. Your abstract should not exceed 250 words.
2. You have the option to upload one figure in relation to your abstract. Please limit its file size to 1 MB . Note that figures will be resized for printing, hence, make sure that lettering, symbols, and lines therein are clear and distinct. Acceptable figure file formats: PNG, TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG .
3. Do not include author names in the title or body of your abstract because a “blind” reviewing process may be used – you can enter the names online during the submission process.

Referencing and citations in Vancouver format (i.e., numbered sequentially according to first use, with citations in text using numbers between square brackets, e.g., [1]) are allowed – see further details below. References should be numbered in the order in which the citations appear in the text.
