Call for Abstracts

The ESRS is pleased to invite you to submit abstracts for consideration and possible presentation at Sleep Europe 2024 to be held in Seville, Spain, 24 – 27 September 2024. All abstracts must be prepared according to the below guidelines. Please read them carefully.

Guidelines for preparation and submission of abstracts

1. Abstract submission opening: Monday, 22 January 2024
2. Abstracts may only be submitted online.
3. Abstracts must be submitted and presented in English. Please use UK English spelling.
4. Your abstract should have a short, specific title not exceeding 25 words.
5. The abstract text may not be longer than 350 words excluding disclosures. Following structure is required:

   • Introduction

   • Methods

   • Results

   • Conclusions

6. Introduction should address the background and goals of the study. The methods should be informative, the results must include primary research results including sample size and statistical analyses; if the sample size of the dataset is not provided, the abstract will not be accepted except for case study; the conclusion should be supported by data (avoid evasive statements like “the findings will be discussed”).
7. Disclosures of potential conflict of interest by all authors and source of funding are mandatory. Each listed author should prepare a one-sentence statement to this effect. Please list all relevant disclosures for years 2023 and 2024.
8. Case studies may be submitted for consideration only if they contain new findings/information and extensive evaluation of the case. (Please tick the appropriate box during the submission if you submit a case study).
9. All abbreviations must be defined at first appearance in the abstract text. Do not define or use abbreviations in the title.
10. Tables, charts or other graphics may not be included and will be deleted by the editors.
11. The presenting author of an accepted abstract must register and attend the congress in person.
12. Authors should indicate their presentation type preference:
    • Poster presentation only
    • Oral and poster presentation
13. It is possible to submit an encore abstract. When considering encore abstracts, the authors should decide whether it is most appropriate to submit identical abstracts to multiple conferences or whether it is better to emphasize different aspects of a trial.
14. A selected number of abstracts for each scientific track (see below) will be accepted for oral presentation based on their scientific merits. These abstracts will be also presented as a poster. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to decide on the final allocation and presentation method.
15. Poster presenters are expected to stand by their poster during their assigned poster session.
16. If your abstract is accepted as an oral presentation you must also be available to give a short talk during the session when your presentation is scheduled.
