ETHICAL STANDARDS
The abstracts describing a non-experimental original research must meet ethical standards, be approved by an ethics committee of the institution of reference. Clinical cases and retrospective works don’t usually need to be approved by an ethical committee. However, the reviewer reserves the right to ask for the ethical approval also for this kind of works and for the works that don’t include live animals. When the work is on client – owned animals, the author must provide clients’ informed consent.
The experimental researches must be approved by the competent authorities, according to the law.
The EGO system for the submission of the abstracts will ask to declare the existence of the above-mentioned documents, which the reviewer reserves the rights to ask for later.
Papers that do not meet with these ethical principles will be automatically rejected.
 
CONGRESS REGISTRATION
The presenting author/speaker of an abstract accepted either as oral or poster communication is granted a free registration to the Congress.
 
 IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission: FEBRUARY 28th, 2024WITHOUT REVIEW.

The review process will end and the authors will be definitely informed by e-mail about acceptance or rejection by MARCH 31st, 2024.
 
To avoid that the abstract cannot be submitted due to technical difficulties, computer problems or other reasons, authors are advised to submit the abstract on time. There is no possibility for late-breaking abstract submission.

LANGUAGE AND TIMING
Abstracts can be submitted in English only. During the oral presentation, speeches can be done in Italian or English.
The time slot for a single presentation is FIFTEEN (15) minutes including 5 minutes discussion time.
In case the number of abstracts accepted exceeds the number of spaces for oral presentations, the reviewer in agreement with the Scientific committee will propose to the authors a poster presentation instead of an oral presentation, according to the assessment of the abstracts.
 
POSTER PRESENTATION
Instead of being printed and displayed on panels, the posters will be displayed on vertically oriented monitors. Each monitor represents a research and viewing station through which it will be possible
search for the contribution of interest through some keys such as topic, authors, title, etc. and view it.
Given this, each author must prepare their own poster in vertical .pdf format similar to traditional posters. Different formats will not be allowed.
 
The poster contribution in .pdf must correspond to 2 slides summarizing the scientific content of their work saved in .ppt and .pdf files. The slides will be used during poster discussions during which each author will have 10 minutes available.
