Abstract submission guidelines

Deadline for submission through the Submission Website: May 20th (EXTENDED), 2026, at 23.59 hours (EET). You should only submit an abstract if you intend to attend the congress. If your abstract is accepted, you must register for the conference. The organizers reserve the right to remove from publication any abstract whose author does not register within two weeks of receipt of the acceptance letter.

All abstracts received by the indicated deadline will be evaluated by a panel of experts. The submitting author will receive a confirmation of acceptance or a notice of rejection by email by the end of May 2026.

  • Language: abstracts must be written in English.
  • Abstract title: The title (including spaces) should not exceed 200 characters and should be written in sentence case. Please do not type a full stop (.) at the end of the title.
  • Abstract text: The abstract should not exceed 2000 characters, including spaces and punctuation. The abstract title, affiliations and references are NOT included in the overall character count.
  • Abstract attachments: the attachments are intended to help reviewers better understand the content of the thesis. They will not be printed in the abstract book. 
  • Abstract structure: The abstract must be structured in the following six specified subtitles:
  1. Introduction – short information that introduces the background of the research and illustrates its scientific problem;
  2. Aim – a short description of what you wished to accomplish;
  3. Methods – a description of methods and materials used in the research, including the type of study;
  4. Results – a description of the obtained results;
  5. Conclusions – a summary of your research and answers to the objectives.
  6. References
  • Registration of authors: Names, titles, institutional affiliations, cities, countries, and email addresses of all contributing authors should be provided. The presenting author (not necessarily the first author) should be identified. The presenting author must be PhD student or resident.
  • Only abstracts not previously published will be accepted.

Instructions for preparing the poster

For the poster use A1 format. The poster must be of a vertical (portrait) design. The poster must be in English.

The poster must be printed and displayed at the location indicated by the organisers during registration. It must be in place no later than 10:30 on 4 June. Specific time slots are not scheduled for poster presentations.

In the poster you should include:

  • Title (with names of authors and affiliations);
  • Introduction;
  • Aim;
  • Methods;
  • Results;
  • Conclusion;
  • References.

Use both UPPER and lower case letters for general content, as the all-capital text is difficult to read. Do not use more than 2-3 fonts and 3-4 text sizes, our recommendations for the font sizes:

  • Title – 100 pt bold sans-serif or Garamond font;
  • Section Heading – 40-48pt bold sans-serif or Arial font;
  • Body Text – 26-32 pt sans-serif or Arial font;
  • Captions – 26-32 pt sans-serif or Arial font.

Make sure there is enough contrast between the color of the text and the poster’s background. Choose a simple color scheme with only two or three related colors. Change colors on graphs and figures in a way that complements the background color. A light background and black letters are the best combinations and the easiest to read.

Make sure ideas flow logically from one section to the next. Use charts and graphs to illustrate data (avoid raw data and large tables, but if you must include them, keep them simple). Each illustration should be self-descriptive (everything that is depicted in images or graphs must be named).

For oral presentations, please send your presentation slides in PowerPoint format to info@healthforall.lt no later than 06:00 on 4 June.
