Thank you for having agreed to act as an invited speaker at the ESHG 2019 Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden. The organisers would very much appreciate if you could spare a few minutes to make an abstract of your talk accessible to the audience. Please find below guidelines for the online submission.

Guidelines for submission

Please read the instructions carefully.

Abstract Format

  • The text should not exceed 300 words (max. limit 500 words), excluding title and authors.
  • A maximum of three institutions per author is allowed.
  • Tables may be included.
  • No graphics are allowed.

Before you get started…

Type your abstract in a common Word Processor (e.g. MS Word). Please save a copy of the file with the abstract text only (no title or authors). This file can then be used for a “file upload” (most convenient way of submission). The upload feature supports and converts tables within the document. Special characters are widely supported.

When entering the site…

An account with your name has already been created. The proposed title of your talk has been entered in the system.
Please login with the login and password sent to you by email on the right side of the page (“returning users”). In case you cannot retrieve your access data, please email us.

In the welcome area you will see “Invited Abstracts” in a grey frame. Below this, you will see the proposed title of your talk* with a yellow “incomplete” button. Please click on the title in order to enter the remaining data step by step:

  • Author(s). The first author was pre-filled by the system. You may correct the data or enter additional authors. You will be able to change the sequence of the authors in case this is necessary.
    You will have to enter a disclosure information for each author.
  • Abstract Text. The text can be uploaded from a “Word” document (formatting, special characters and tables will be recognised) or simply “copied/pasted”. Format, tables and special characters are recognised only when using Internet Explorer.
  • Up to 3 Keywords (optional)
  • In case you need to change the proposed title*, simply click on the “Title” step in the navigation bar, edit the text and save your entry by clicking “Continue”. Please note: The system is currently experiencing issues when copy/pasting the title from a Word document into the Abstract Title Box (the system might give you an error message stating that the title exceeds 1,000 characters). Please type in the title, in case you need to amend it from the one proposed and inform us via email so that we can update the website with the new title of your talk.

*Please note: In case we did not yet receive a tentative title of your abstract, the abstract will display “Title to be confirmed”. Please change it accordingly.

You will see a summary of your submission in the last step (“Review my work“), which you may print. The “incomplete” icon should now have turned into a green “complete” icon in the welcome area.
