In addition to the poster prize medals, the ACBI is offering two 100Euro prizes to the lead authors for the two best posters with a green/sustainable impact. Please indicate if you wish your poster to be considered for the Green Prize.

The submission deadline is 5pm Friday 12th September 2025.

Poster abstracts will be considered on any topic that is deemed, by the Conference Committee, to be relevant to the discipline of Clinical Biochemistry. Abstracts submitted are eligible for consideration as oral abstract presentations during the conference unless otherwise indicated (Tick Box). Selected oral abstract presentations will be in two sessions: one for Clinical Cases; and one for any other abstracts. The abstract title must not exceed 20 words and the text (excluding title, authors, and author affiliations) should be no more than 300 words. Figures and tables should not be included in the abstract. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that spelling, grammar, and syntax are correct. It is understood that all abstracts submitted have been reviewed and approved for submission by all contributing authors. Abstracts not adhering to the above instructions may be rejected.

Scientific abstracts must be structured, with appropriate headings, and must:

• Give background/context to the work described
• State the specific aim of the study
• Clearly describe the methods used and the study design, as appropriate
• Give details of compliance with the 2018 Health Research Regulations and ethics approval where appropriate
• Summarise results obtained
• State conclusions reached
• Statements such as ‘data will be presented’ or ‘results will be discussed’ may lead to rejection.

Where data or results have been published elsewhere (e.g. peer reviewed journal articles, letters, conference proceedings, posters, oral presentations, guidelines), this should clearly be stated at abstract submission. Where previously presented work has been augmented such that the authors feel it represents new work, this should likewise be stated. Any adjudications on the novelty or otherwise of abstract submission will be made by the Conference Committee. When submitting abstracts, authors should indicate if they wish to be considered for an oral presentation. Submissions of original work will automatically be eligible for consideration for the conference poster prize. Work declared by the authors, or deemed by the Conference Committee, to have been published previously may be submitted but will be ineligible for consideration for the poster prize. The Conference Committee will review all submitted abstracts. Their decision is final.
