EASD 2021 | EASD

Abstracts can only be submitted online and MUST be submitted BEFORE 1 APRIL 2021 18:00hrs CEST. THIS DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED, as will be the regulations given below. The EASD office will notify the presenting (= first named) author when the abstracts with the status "complete" are forwarded for anonymous review.

Submission of Abstracts

The following is a brief overview of the abstract submission process. Please read carefully the DETAILED ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES before you begin the abstract submission process.

It is not permitted to submit work that has been published and/or is likely to be published before the EASD Abstract submission deadline (1 April 2021, 18:00hrs. CEST). The Programme Committee has the right to remove an abstract if this contains data that has already been published. However, EASD accepts the submission of abstracts that have been presented in recent months at local or national diabetes meetings (e.g. ADA, DDG). An author submitting or presenting work that has been published in a journal before the EASD Abstract submission deadline (1 April 2021, 18:00hrs CEST) will be banned from presenting data at the EASD Meetings for three years.

Abstracts submitted on Human Studies:

The box must be marked stating that the study has been reviewed by the Local Ethics Committee and that it has therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the Helsinki Declaration (see World Medical Association: https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/).

Abstracts submitted on Animal Studies:

The box must be marked stating that the study has been carried out along the “Principles of laboratory animal care” (NIH Publication no. 85-23, revised 1985) and according to the national law, if applicable.

Selection of abstracts for the Scientific Programme is made anonymously. THE ABSTRACT MUST BE SUBMITTED as follows:

Each author can be listed ONLY ONCE as the PRESENTING author (presenting author is always the first named author in the author block) on ONE (1) abstract. Each additional abstract will be removed from the system and will not be forwarded to the Review Committee. Additional abstracts will not be reviewed. Presenting authors may be co-authors of other abstracts. It is mandatory that the presenting author of any abstract accepted for presentation or discussion attends the 57th virtual EASD Annual Meeting 2021 to present and/or discuss his/her paper. Failure to do so, without prior or adequate explanation sent to the EASD Office by e-mail, may result in the author or the institution being banned from presenting abstracts for the next three years.

Abstracts are welcome from non-members of EASD. Please refer to the Registration section of this General Information, regarding the date by which authors must become members of EASD in order to qualify for preferential registration fees. These regulations will be strictly enforced.

The abstract must be submitted in English. New authors should create an account using a login name and a password. With this information they can revise the submission as often as required, make changes, additions, amendments, change/add/delete authors, copy special characters easily into the text, re-write the abstract or copy and paste the text in the corresponding boxes. All this is possible until the Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 April 2021 18:00hrs CEST. After this date the submission site will be closed.

IMPORTANT!: Always double check that the “complete” status of your submitted abstract has NOT been affected after having edited it.

CHANGES TO THE CONTENT AND/OR THE AUTHOR BLOCK OF THE SUBMITTED ABSTRACT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED after the submission deadline.

Your abstract submission must adhere the following structure:

The maximum number of characters is 3,200 (excl. spaces) including the title and the author block. The title should be short (maximum 150 characters).
Please enter your name and the names of co-authors as given in the example below. Start each name with a capital letter and continue in lower case, do not enter names/affiliations all in capital letters.
First Name: John
2nd Initial: J
3rd Initial: R
Last Name: Macleod
The abstract must be structured. Enter each section into the corresponding text field with the provided sub-headings in bold (Background and aims:, Materials and methods:, Results: and Conclusion:). The abstract structuring words are fixed for each abstract text box. One or two sentences should describe the methods, and any aspects of methodology (e.g. use of control groups, randomisation, patient selection, assay variation). The sentences stating the results must include hard data, including statistical analysis. The abstract requires solid data, i.e. n, p-values and confidence intervals if appropriate.
It is allowed to include only one table OR one graph to your abstract, but 400 characters will be deducted from the maximum number of characters allowed. Tables must be uploaded as an image; so you must create your table and convert it into an image in order to include it in your abstract. You can edit your table or graph and then replace it, or delete it until the submission deadline of 1 April 2021, 18:00hrs CEST. Do not enter both (a table and a graph) in the same image file; also, do not create and upload multi panel images (a maximum of two panels is allowed). When creating a table, do not exceed a number of 10 columns and 12 rows with a maximum of 1 line per row!
References are not allowed.
For drugs exclusively generic names should be used (no trademarks).
A list of approved abbreviations and units of expression for use without definition appears in Diabetologia.
Grant/Support information must be entered into its designated field.
Where applicable, the Clinical Trial Registration Number must be entered into its designated field; not in the abstract body.
Only one keyword can be selected.
Abstracts CANNOT be submitted as an e-mail attachment.

Once all submission steps have been successfully completed and the abstract deadline has passed, the presenting author will receive a notification confirming the final version of the abstract submission. In case of questions, or if you have not received a notification confirming the final version of the abstract submission by 15 April 2021, please contact the EASD office: abstracts@easd.org

Disclaimer

All efforts will be made to adhere to the programme as printed. However, EASD and its agents reserve the right to alter or cancel, without prior notice, any of the arrangements, timetables, plans or other items relating directly or indirectly to the Meeting, for any case beyond their reasonable control.

EASD and its agents are not liable for any other loss or inconvenience caused as a result of such changes.

Modification of the Programme

The organiser will make all efforts to adhere to the programme advertised. However, the organiser and its agents reserve the right to alter, replace or cancel, without prior notice, any of the speakers or arrangements announced, provided that the overall character of the event remains unaffected. The organiser will inform the attendees to that effect immediately by publishing details of the modification on the website. If those modifications are caused by any factor outside of the reasonable control and the responsibility of the organiser (e.g. a speaker is suddenly prevented from attending, any unforeseeable disruption at the venue), the organiser will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience caused as a result of such modifications.

Cancellation of the Annual Meeting

The organiser reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part and to cancel the Annual Meeting if the performance of the same is impossible due to force majeure or other unforeseen incidents outside its responsibility including, without limitation, strike, lock-out, natural disasters, terrorism, riots, war, disorder, and acts of public authorities. The organiser will inform the attendees to that effect immediately.

In this case, the organiser cannot be held liable by the attendee for any damages, costs, or losses incurred, such as transportation, accommodation, costs for additional orders, financial losses, etc. caused by the slight negligence of the organiser, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Apart from that, the limitation of liability remains unaffected.

Under these circumstances, the organiser will refund the registration fee but reserves the right to deduct any costs from the registration fee which have already been incurred for the organisation of the Annual Meeting and which cannot be recovered from third parties.

Limitation of Liability

The organiser is liable without restriction for any damage arising from loss of life, personal injury or illness caused by the organiser, its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

In the event of any other damage caused by the organiser, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability is limited to intentionally or grossly negligent conduct.

The above does not apply to claims relating to breaches of fundamental contract obligations. Fundamental contract obligations are those the performance of which is essential to the contract and on which the attendee may rely. In the event of a breach of fundamental contract obligations caused by the slight negligence of the organiser, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, the organiser’s liability for all damage is limited to the foreseeable damages typical of the contract.

Data Protection and Sharing of Contact Details

The EASD office will collect and store all personal data for the preparation and execution of the EASD Annual Meeting in accordance with our privacy policy.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

German law applies. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. The court is Düsseldorf, Germany.
