Evaluation procedure
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Programme Committee and external experts, in collaboration with Global Health EDCTP3. Selection of abstracts will be based on the following criteria:
- Abstract quality
- Relevance to the Forum theme and Global Health EDCTP3 activities
- Significance of the reported results.
The corresponding author will be notified of the outcome of the review by April 2025.
Please note that the final decision on whether the abstract is accepted and, if so, whether it will be for a poster or oral presentation will be made by Global Health EDCTP3 and the Programme Committee. It is expected that presenters will attend in person. Poster presenters will be allocated a time slot where they will present and address questions in person at the Forum.
Presenting authors whose abstracts have been accepted will receive further instructions for presenting their abstracts.
Financial support
Global Health EDCTP3 will support transport, accommodation and visa costs for a limited number of early and mid-career investigators with high-ranking abstracts, who have been accepted to present an abstract at the Twelfth EDCTP Forum. Access to all Forum sessions and meals as per the Forum programme are also foreseen. This support is intended for investigators with limited research funding. Selected recipients will be the primary authors of oral or poster presentations.
