Abstract submission

Abstract Submission is now closed.

All submitted abstracts are currently being reviewed and Authors will be notified of their outcome by 5th May 2008.

Welcome to WSAVA/FECAVA’s Abstract/Free Communication submission pages
Research Abstracts and Free Communications are considered to be an extremely valuable component of the annual WSAVA Congress. They consist of a series of 12-minute oral presentations (plus 3 minutes for discussion) on recent research into various aspects of clinical medicine and surgery. 

In addition to clinical research, preliminary findings and unique case reports of exceptional interest are also considered. Abstracts which state “results will be presented” will be immediately rejected. Accepted abstracts are published in conjunction with the Congress Proceedings.

Submissions are only accepted online and must be completed by 5pm on 1st April 2008. Late abstracts will not be accepted under any circumstances.  We therefore advise completing your submission ahead of the deadline, so that you can let us know if you are having any difficulties. All will be peer-reviewed, and if accepted the submitting author will be offered free registration for the day of presentation of the abstract only.  Registration is non-transferable. Submissions will be accepted as oral presentations only.  The reviewers’ decision is final, and if the abstract is not accepted, feedback will not be given.
You are welcome to submit more than one abstract.

Presentation of a Clinical Research Abstract at Congress 2008 will entitle the presenting author to free registration on the day of presentation.

If there are problems with abstract submission, further help can be obtained from  carmel.mooney@ucd.ie

  5.

  8. Registration cannot be transferred from the presenting author to another individual
