Abstract Submission

General information

All abstracts must be submitted until 31st May 2022. Each abstract will be reviewed by the conference committee and/or symposium organizers and accepted if it is judged to meet good scientific standards. There is no limit on the number of abstracts that an individual author can submit, but the organizers retain the right to reduce the number of oral presentations per delegate in case the conference is oversubscribed. Abstracts can either be submitted for consideration in one of the SAGE 2022 symposia (see below and program page for details) or for one of the thematically open sessions. Please see the Presentation Guidelines page for details on how to set up your presentation (NP: depending on the number of abstracts submitted, the length limit for talks might be adjusted (plus/minus 5 mins max.) please make sure you check this page again when the conference draws closer (late June/early July).

Abstracts from participants that have paid the student conference fee will automatically be considered for the student presentation awards unless indicated otherwise

Please note that your abstract will not be included in the SAGE 2022 abstract book if you have not completed your registration by paying the conference fee!
