Guidelines
We strongly encourage young participants to submit their abstracts and contribute fresh perspectives to the scientific dialogue.
ERIC encourages the submission of original scientific material unpublished at the time of the abstract submission deadline. That said, ERIC will also accept for review:
a. Abstracts submitted to regional or national hematology meetings
b. Abstracts previously submitted to large international meetings which are organized in May – September 2026. Examples of international meetings are the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the European Hematology Association (EHA).
c. Abstracts presented at a large international meeting in 2025 (i.e. encore abstracts), may be submitted provided a clear indication about significant novel or updated information is included in the appropriate abstract submission field.
Abstracts of an unfinished research will not be evaluated. Abstracts stating ‘data will be discussed in the presentation’ will not be accepted. Clinical case submissions are accepted. The abstract body must not include any indication of the personal details of authors. Avoid also reference to institutions, locations, or funding sources in the abstract body.
Abstracts must be submitted using exclusively the on-line abstract submission form you will find in this website. Abstracts submitted by email or fax will not be accepted. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered. The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission.
The Presenting author must be the Contact author in the submission form. The Presenting author must register for the meeting before 15 September 2026 to ensure the abstract is included in the program.
The ERIC 2026 Meeting will be a traditional face-to-face event and all the accepted abstracts will be presented as traditional printed posters. More information will be included in the abstract acceptance letter.
List of authors and institutions
This is a mandatory step. First, create a list of institutions. Each institution will be assigned a reference number. You will be requested to indicate the reference number of the institution when you create the list of authors.
Abstract text
It must not exceed 500 words and must be written in English. We encourage non-English-speaking authors to have their abstracts checked for grammar and spelling before submission. Please do not leave blank lines to separate paragraphs. Special characters and symbols are accepted in the abstract except in the title. We suggest typing the text in a Word processing programme in a common font, and copy-paste it into the corresponding field. Bold, italic, and underlined texts are not accepted.
The abstract must follow the following structure
- Background
- Material and methods
- Results
- Conclusions
How to use the online abstract submission form
First, you will be required to Create a ‘New Account’ to sign into your personal abstract submission portal. Your personal portal will allow you to submit abstracts and register to the meeting after the review process. If you do not click on the Submit button, your abstract will be saved as a draft. You will then be able to review it and submit it later (but only before the deadline). Abstracts that are in draft status after the deadline cannot be processed and therefore will not be considered for selection.
For any further information related to abstract submission please contact the Technical Secretariat by email: eric2026@bcocongresos.com
Changes and corrections
Once the abstract is submitted, it is possible to make corrections to the content or information (such as authors list and details, theme, conclusion(s) etc.) but always prior to the abstract submission deadline. To correct your abstract, you must access the Abstract submission platform. Note that, modifications of your abstract are not possible after the deadline. In the case of errors in your abstract discovered after the deadline, you may indicate the correction on your presentation. If you want to withdraw an abstract already submitted, please notify us as quickly as possible at eric2026@bcocongresos.com stating the title and number of the abstract to be withdrawn.
Evaluation and acceptance
The final selection will be made by the Scientific and Organising Committees that will determine the acceptance or rejection for each abstract. All abstract submitters will be notified by e-mail, around the 15th of July, about the outcome (accepted or not accepted) of the review and selection process. Please ensure that the email provided is accurate as all correspondences will be sent via email. If the abstract is accepted, further instructions will be provided at the time of results announcement.
