SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
The Scientific Committee invites you to participate actively
in this conference which will be an extraordinary occasion
for the exchange of thoughts and experiences. We look
forward to receiving abstracts
online

inclusion in the scientific programme as oral or poster pre-
sentation.
The submitted abstracts should give a brief description of
the title and topic. All abstracts will be reviewed by mem-
bers of the working groups and/or the Scientific Commit-
tee. The reviewers will judge the abstracts according to
the relevance to ESP and Path Soc, standard of English,
objectivity of statement, description of what was done,
suitability of methods to aims, conclusions confirmed by
objective results, ethics, scientific value, potential clinical
value, originality of work and overall impression.
All accepted abstracts will be published in an abstract book
which is a supplement to Virchows Archiv, and online on
the congress website
.
Detailed instructions regarding the electronic submission
procedure can be found on the website.
The deadline for abstract submission is
8 April 2014
