CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Abstract Submission Deadline extended until 10 June 2023

Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their abstract by email early July 2023.
 
Authors can submit their abstracts for oral or poster presentation. It is to be noted that the Scientific Committee will select a limited number of abstracts for oral presentation in the Young Investigators' Meeting, the abstract sessions and the Thieves Market (send us your most remarkable clinical cases!). The other abstracts will be accepted for poster presentation, after peer review.
 
The three most challenging clinical cases submitted for the Thieves Market will be selected by the scientific committee for an oral presentation. This year, a 750 € prize will be granted to the young rheumatologist who presented the best of these three selected clinical cases.
