A total of 1763 abstracts have been accepted:
- 676 free papers,

The validated abstracts are now part of the final scientific programme for the EFORT Geneva congress. Please note that the nurse abstracts will be presented during the nurse session.

INFORMATION ON ABSTRACT ACCEPTANCE
You have by now been notified by email about the acceptance of your abstracts(s). However, if you have not received the information, please email scientific.support@efort.org
IMPORTANT TO NOTE! The presenting author of an accepted abstract is required to attend the congress and present the abstract on the given day and time indicated in the acceptance email.
EFORT therefore requires all presenting authors to register by 29 February 2016 at the latest. Only registrations for the full Congress are accepted (no day registrations).
Please note that only the presenting authors who have registered to the 17th EFORT Annual Congress Geneva 2016 by the given deadlines, have been notified by email on Wednesday 23 March 2016 about the validation of his/her abstract to the final scientific programme.
It is important to note, however, that if you have not registered to the congress on time by the given deadlines, your abstract has been excluded from the final scientific programme. You should have received an email communication about this by now.
If you have not received any communication about EFORT concerning inclusion/exclusion of your abstract to the scientific programme, please contact scientific.support@efort.org
