Session Proposal Submission

The EASD Session Proposal Submission System is available via MyEASD and will close on the deadline 28 April 2025 at 18:00hrs CEST.

The Scientific Programme at the EASD Annual Meeting is set up by the Scientific Programme Committee chaired by the EASD Honorary Secretary. The Scientific Programme Committee welcomes additional external symposia suggestions. These will be discussed and prioritised by the Scientific Programme Committee.

Please note that submission of any proposal does not imply any commitment from EASD. Information about acceptance/rejection will be sent to the submitter’s e-mail address by mid-June. If accepted, the session duration of your suggestion will be defined by the Scientific Programme Committee; accepted suggestions may also be edited to avoid overlaps in the programme. All proposals accepted by the EASD Scientific Programme Committee will be part of the final official Scientific Programme of the 61st EASD Annual Meeting in Vienna.

Abstract Submission

The Abstract Submission is now closed.

All communications must be delivered in English. There is no simultaneous translation.

Abstracts can only be submitted online and must be submitted before 1 April 2025 at 18:00hrs CEST. This deadline will be strictly enforced, as will be the regulations given below. The presenting (= first named) author will be notified when the abstracts with the status "complete" are forwarded for anonymous review.

The following is an overview of the abstract submission process. Please read carefully the: DETAILED ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES before you begin the abstract submission process.

It is not permitted to submit work that has been published and/or is likely to be published before the EASD Abstract submission deadline (1 April 2025, 18:00hrs CEST). The Programme Committee has the right to remove an abstract if this contains data that has already been published. However, EASD accepts the submission of abstracts that have been presented in recent months at local or national diabetes meetings (e.g. ADA, DDG). An author submitting or presenting work that has been published in a journal before the EASD Abstract submission deadline (1 April 2025, 18:00hrs CEST) will be banned from presenting data at the EASD Meetings for three years.

Selection of abstracts for the Scientific Programme is made anonymously.

The abstract must be submitted as follows:

There is no limit to the number of abstracts an author may submit; however, an author may only serve as the presenting author on two submissions. It is the authors’ responsibility to designate a new presenter for presentation scheduling conflicts that arise. If accepted, the presenter must be a co-author listed on the abstract at the time of submission.

It is mandatory that the presenting author of any abstract accepted for presentation or discussion attends the 61st EASD Annual Meeting 2025 in Vienna to present and discuss his/her paper. Failure to do so, without prior or adequate explanation sent to the EASD Office by e-mail, may result in the author or the institution being banned from presenting abstracts for the next three years.

Abstracts are welcome from non-members of EASD. Please refer to the Registration section, regarding the date by which authors must become members of EASD in order to qualify for preferential registration fees. These regulations will be strictly enforced.

The abstract must be submitted in English. New submitters/authors should create a MyEASD account. With these access credentials, they can revise the submission as often as required, make changes, additions, amendments, change/add/delete authors, copy special characters easily into the text, re-write the abstract or copy and paste the text in the corresponding boxes. All this is possible until the Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 April 2025 18:00hrs CEST. After this date the submission site will be closed.

Always double check that the “complete” status of your submitted abstract has not been affected after having edited it.

Changes to the content and/or author block of the submitted abstract will not be accepted after the submission deadline.

Your abstract submission must adhere the following structure:

• The maximum number of characters is 3,200 (excl. spaces) including the title and the author block. The title should be short (maximum 170 characters).
• Please enter your name and the names of co-authors as given in the example below. Start each name with a capital letter and continue in lower case, do not enter names/affiliations all in capital letters.
  First Name: John
  2nd Initial:  J
  3rd Initial:   R
  Last Name: Macleod
• The abstract must be structured. Enter each section into the corresponding text field with the provided sub-headings in bold (Background and aims, Materials and methods, Results and Conclusion). The abstract structuring words are fixed for each abstract text box. One or two sentences should describe the methods, and any aspects of methodology (e.g. use of control groups, randomisation, patient selection, assay variation). The sentences stating the results must include hard data, including statistical analysis. The abstract requires solid data, i.e. n, p-values and confidence intervals if appropriate.
• It is allowed to include only one table OR one graph to your abstract, but 400 characters will be deducted from the maximum number of characters allowed. Tables must be uploaded as an image; so you must create your table and convert it into an image in order to include it in your abstract. You can edit your table or graph and then replace it, or delete it until the submission deadline of 1 April 2025, 18:00hrs CEST. Do not enter both (a table and a graph) in the same image file; also, do not create and upload multi panel images (a maximum of two panels is allowed). When creating a table, do not exceed a number of 10 columns and 12 rows with a maximum of 1 line per row! 
• References are not allowed.
• For drugs exclusively generic names should be used (no trademarks).
• A list of approved abbreviations and units of expression for use without definition appears in Diabetologia.
• Grant/Support information must be entered in its designated field, not in the abstract body.
• Where applicable, the Clinical Trial Registration Number must be entered into its designated field, not in the abstract body.
• Only one keyword can be selected.
• Abstracts CANNOT be submitted as an e-mail attachment.

Once all submission steps have been successfully completed and the abstract deadline has passed, a notification confirming the final version of the abstract submission will be posted on the presenting author’s Scientific Submission portal (accessible by loging into MyEASD). All notifications will be posted ONLY on the presenting = first named author’s Scientific Submission portal, the name, middle name, last name and e-mail contact used during the submission process must match any existing EASD membership and/or MyEASD account (only one e-mail address per presenting = first named author).

In case of questions, or if no notification confirming the final version of the abstract submission has been received by 14 April 2025, please contact the EASD office: abstracts@easd.org

Venue and Travel

Vienna, Austria's capital is a city celebrated for its imperial history, architectural grandeur, and vibrant cultural legacy. Once the seat of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna’s rich heritage is reflected in landmarks like Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and the Hofburg Imperial Palace, each a testament to Vienna’s regal past.

Nestled along the Danube River, Vienna earned its reputation as the “City of Music” as the home and workplace of legendary composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Johann Strauss II. The city’s skyline is adorned by the Wiener Riesenrad, a historic Ferris wheel towering over the Prater Park since 1897. This enduring symbol of Vienna’s charm offers sweeping views of a metropolis where tradition harmonizes with modernity. Vienna remains a global hub for arts and innovation, offering a fitting backdrop for the 61^st EASD Annual Meeting.
