Notes for Authors

Download poster production guidelines here

If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.

Once the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.

Abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the online abstract system which will be distributed to all registered conference participants.

For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted

If you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please contact the Conference Content Executive (Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances) with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one.

Special session proposals

As a trial, the organisers of the conference want to open the program to special sessions proposed by the community. The theme and format of the sessions is deliberately left open. We would, however, like to consider sessions that have the objective to add to the scientific contributions in the main program. We are therefore typically not looking for sessions of oral scientific contributions that could have been any of the regular sessions. One reason for this is that special sessions should add to the diversity of contributions. Another reason is that the main program only has room for slightly more than 100 oral contributions and selecting these from the more than 800 abstracts is through a careful blind and impartial process. In our view, it is undesirable to then have sessions of oral scientific contributions that are selected outside of this process. We would therefore like proposers to argue what makes their session ‘special’ in light of the main program of Epidemics and to the benefit of the infectious disease dynamics community.

We have provisionally made room for three such sessions as a trial. They will run in parallel and have a maximum length of 1.5 hours. They are scheduled around the lunch break on Thursday 2 December.

The deadline for submission of proposals has now passed.

All proposals will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. A decision can be expected by 1 June 1 2025. It may be that the committee has suggestions for discussion with the proposers.
