Abstract submission process

Abstracts will be accepted via this online submission system only (email submissions will not be accepted).

One (submitter) can submit one or many abstracts on our platform with its personal account, and non-authors (agents) can submit on behalf of an author (who needs an account too for the follow up). The submitter warrants having the full power, authority and capacity to submit the abstract and agree to these terms and conditions.

An acknowledgement of receipt by email of each submission will be sent automatically to the submitter’s mailbox upon completion of the online submission, and to the presenting/corresponding author(s).

• submitters may modify their submission(s) until the deadline: late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
• The official language is English only.
• Read carefully the all agreements to accept at the end of the submission form (condition of acceptance, publication authorization, statement of responsibility, cf. platform).
• Encore presentations are not accepted, still, it is possible to submit one with updated study/data and a detailed justification adressed to the reviewers (tick the appropriate checkbox).

Abstract format

Abstract submissions will be reviewed for presentations in one of three formats:

• 1. oral presentation in scientific sessions (in-person/virtual)
• 2. oral poster presentation (in-person only, 5 minutes during the breaks on one of the screens)
• 3. poster with no oral presentation (available only on displays and online for attendees)

Every effort will be made to accommodate requests based on considerations regarding space availability and conference program themes: by default and if not refused, all abstracts are subjects to be accepted as posters with no oral presentation.

If an abstract is not selected for an oral presentation, it is possible to indicate in the online submission form if one will consider an oral poster presentation in the event (a few selected posters will be scheduled for short oral poster presentations during the breaks).

Abstract topics

All abstracts submitted must address one of the conference topics for inclusion in the program. The list of available topics when submitting an abstract is:

• Pathophysiology of AD
• Immunity dysregulation
• Primary Prevention and Comorbidities
• Pruritus and AD
• Quality of Life & Comorbidities, Epidemiology
• New Technologies and AD
• Topical treatment and phototherapy
• New Targeted and Systemic Therapies for AD
• Future treatments of AD
• Initiatives at the international level — poster only
• Patient-centered medicine — poster only
• Other — poster only

Each abstract content must be described accurately with 2 or 3 keywords from the provided list in the form.

All selected abstracts will be reproduced exactly as submitted and substitutions will not be permitted. They must be proofread very carefully before submitting.
