If you’ve ever heard the term late-breaking, you know it means something that is happening or will happen very quickly. We use the word in our conference programs to refer to important new scientific findings that become available for presentation during the lead-up to a meeting. The FEBS Congress late-breaking abstract sessions are designed to provide a forum for the rapid dissemination of important and timely research in molecular life sciences.
Submissions are evaluated and selected based on quality, originality, and impact to the field. Each presenting author is eligible to submit one research abstract for consideration as a late-breaking. Abstracts that were submitted as part of the main abstract submission process are not eligible to be resubmitted as a late-breaking.
Authors of the highest-scoring late-breaking scientific abstracts will be invited to present their work during a scientific Late-Breaking Oral Abstract session on Thursday, May 24. Presenters of late-breaking abstracts who are not able to attend in person can present their work virtually (a free, virtual-only option).
The scientific late-breaking abstract program recognizes important developments that became available for submission in the lead-up to International Congress and that have the potential to impact clinical practice. Typically, these studies are not appropriate for the main e-poster sessions, such as case reports, qualitative surveys, practice reviews, rating scale validation, and small confirmatory studies.
In order to be considered for a scientific late-breaking abstract presentation, your abstract must conform to the requirements of a regular article, with the exception of the reference list (which does not count toward the abstract length). Additionally, if you are selected to present at the meeting, you must register for the event and comply with the SfN conflict of interest policy.
