Abstracts 2022
All abstracts will be rated on overall quality, novelty, and clinical relevance.
A multidisciplinary scientific committee, consisting of the members of the NEDS board as well as national representatives from both clinical and research background has been formed to evaluate all submitted abstracts. The committee consists of NEDS board members Rasmus Isomaa (chair), Therese Fostervold Mathisen (NO), Inger Becker (DK), Anna Danielsson (SWE), Pia Charpentier (FI), Heiða Guðmundsdóttir (IS), and external members Sanna-Aila Gustafsson (SWE), Loa Clausen (DK), Kristin Stedal (NO).
Conflicts of interest will be dealt with as necessary.
You may submit your abstract by visiting the Ex Ordo abstract submission system.
Please note that you will be required to setup an account first.
Submission deadline for abstracts is 01.04.2022 – and there are awards for best abstracts!
Abstract awards:
NEDS will award two of the best abstracts submitted; one for the prevention category, and one for the treatment/recovery category. The awards are given to the presenting authors, and consists of free admission for those two persons to the NEDS 2024 conference. The award can’t be transferred to another person, nor can it be postponed to a later conference.
Each member of the scientific committee will nominate two abstracts in each award category. The scientific committee will then – either by unanimous decision or by voting – choose the winners. Conflicts of interest will be dealt with as necessary. Abstracts will be rated on scientific quality, novelty, and clinical relevance.
