Call for abstracts

Standard call for abstracts

The standard call for abstracts for ESCAIDE 2023 closed on 15 May and the abstract review process is now complete and authors have been notified of the results by email.

We’re thrilled to announce that we have received an exceptional number of submissions this year – over 780 abstracts. We'd like to thank all the authors for their interest in ESCAIDE. 

Thanks to the work of our dedicated pool of abstract reviewers, and with the approval of the ESCAIDE Scientific Committee, the abstract review process has now been completed according to the Guidelines for abstract review and selection. 

Authors have now been notified of the decision on their abstract by email, and can also access the abstract submission platform to see the result. If you submitted an abstract but have not yet received this email, please check your spam folder, check the abstract submission platform, or notify us by writing to escaide.conference@ecdc.europa.eu.

The guidelines for abstract presenters are now available on our website.

More information about the ESCAIDE call for abstracts

ESCAIDE 2023 welcomes abstracts in all areas applied to infectious disease and public health. These areas include epidemiology, microbiology, virology, immunology, social sciences, science communication, the application of tools and methods to support infectious disease interventions and more. We encourage submissions that inform public health actions, introduce new ideas, and bring new understandings to the field.

Submitting an abstract to ESCAIDE gives you an opportunity to present your work to public health professionals from Europe and around the globe, while sharing experiences and knowledge that can benefit the whole public health community and beyond.

ESCAIDE 2023 will take place with a physical audience in Barcelona and be live-streamed online, allowing both audiences to ask questions. We encourage abstract presenters to present in-person, but remote presentation is also possible.

A second call, for submission of late breakers, is open from 7 September to 18 September (23:59 CET).
