Virtual Info Sessions for the IHEA 2027 Congress Abstract Submissions  

Abstract submissions for the 2027 IHEA Congress in Santiago, Chile, are now open, and we want to help you put forward your strongest work.

Join us for a free info session on writing a successful abstract. Whether you are submitting for the first time or are a seasoned presenter, the session will walk you through what reviewers look for and how to make your abstract stand out.

To welcome members across time zones, we are hosting two sessions with the same content. Choose the one that works best for you:

What we’ll cover:

  • Picking the right topic and making sure it fits the Congress sub-fields
  • Building your abstract around one clear point, from title to conclusion
  • Writing each section of your abstract (background, methods, results and conclusions), with a real abstract as an example
  • And more!

We will also make sure there is time for questions.
