LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Abstracts with more than 250 words will not be accepted. Abstracts must be submitted through the official online abstract submission system.
Any Abstract can be modified by clicking on the link in the confirmation email.
No faxed or e-mailed abstract will be accepted.
Detailed information for oral or poster presentation (time allotment, date, hour) will be sent by e-mail to the registered presenting Author in due time.
At least one Author of accepted abstracts is required to register and pay the registration fee to ensure the rights for the presentation. EuGMS is unable to support any participation cost related to the submitted abstract, including but not limited to registration, travel, and accommodation.

All the accepted abstracts will be published in the Digital Abstract Book of European Geriatric Medicine (EGM) Journal, which is the official journal of the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) that will be issued after the Congress. We are pleased to announce that EGM Journal has been accepted for indexing and inclusion in PubMed/Medline. All articles published from 2018 will be indexed and searchable in PubMed.
