    • Your abstract will automatically be rejected if it is submitted in another language.

We are unable to add in any new research areas or abstract categories at this stage.
Please choose the research area or category that most closely matches the topics.

You can provide email addresses for all authors of your abstract, but you must provide a valid email address for your listed presenting author.

This will be used to contact the presenter regarding uploading presentations or Posters, if your submission is successful.
If an email address is not provided, the submitter will be automatically contacted to upload presentations or Posters, if your submission is successful.

Firstly, please check that you have not exceeded the maximum word limit (400 words), and that you have at least one word as a minimum word count.

Occasionally, the upload tool gets stuck, even if your abstract complies with all the upload rules. This is usually because too many people are submitting at the same time.
In this case, please try to upload a couple more times. If this still does not work, please save your work and try to upload again later.

If you are still unable to upload, please send your abstract text (using the template) to the congress team at [email protected] for them to upload on your behalf. Please make sure to state your name and submission number so that we can easily find your abstract.

Can I change the presenting author listed on my submission?

Please contact the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 team as soon as possible at [email protected], stating your abstract submission number and name, and which author should now be the presenter.

Please contact the Congress Team at [email protected] with “ESPE-ESE 2025 Abstract Withdrawal” as the email subject, stating your abstract submission number and name.

Please note that we are unable to withdraw any abstracts from publication after the withdrawal deadline,
Friday 21 March 2025.

The Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 abstract submission deadline is Monday 3 February 2025, 23:59 CET.

Please ensure that you have submitted any draft submissions by this deadline, or your abstract may be automatically rejected. We cannot accept draft abstract submissions.

The system will close at exactly 23:59 CET on Monday 3 February 2025 and you will lose any draft submissions that you are working on. You must have pressed ‘Submit’ before this time to save your submission progress.

The deadline is final and there will be no extensions to this.

However, we will be re-opening for new late-breaking abstract submissions in March 2025. The opening and deadline details will be communicated via the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 website, social media and newsletter. You will not be able to submit a previously started draft submission, but you will be able to start a new submission.

We will be re-opening for new late-breaking abstract submissions in March 2025. The opening and deadline details will be communicated via the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 website and other marketing channels.

This submission period will allow for the submission of truly late-breaking, novel and high-impact scientific research for which results were not available at the time of the original submission deadline (Monday 3 February 2025, 23:59 CET). Late-breaking abstracts should present data, which is high impact, innovative, and newsworthy.

Please note that this must not be treated as an extension to the original abstract deadline.

You will not be able to submit a previously started draft or placeholder submission, but you will be able to start a new submission.

A condition of abstract submission to our Congress is that at least one author (preferably the presenting author) registers and pays to attend the Congress, if their abstract is accepted.

Please check that this is possible before submitting your abstract. More information on registration can be found on the registration page.

Any person submitting an abstract and not attending will be automatically excluded from future ESPE and ESE Congresses and their abstract will not be published.

You will be notified of your abstract’s acceptance or rejection in early March 2025. This notification will be sent to the email address that you used to submit your abstract.

Yes! We encourage our abstract authors to submit their work as full papers to scientific journals. The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) only hold copyright on accepted conference abstracts, so you can write a full paper to submit to another journal.

We strongly advise against submitting the same abstract to another conference concurrently, as if both are accepted then each conference’s copyright may be breached upon publication. It is worth checking this with the other conferences before submitting.

If you do continue to submit, we would advise re-writing the abstract or adding in new data.

All accepted abstracts will be published in Endocrine Abstracts before the start of our congress.

Endocrine Abstracts is an open-access, fully citable collection of all the abstracts presented at the congress. You can browse earlier volumes of Endocrine Abstracts.

Each volume of Endocrine Abstracts is a collection of abstracts, rather than an official academic journal. It is therefore not listed in PubMed or MedLine.

However, each abstract is published with a unique DOI, meaning that it is fully citable.

By submitting your abstract, you are assigning copyright of the abstract text to the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and Bioscientifica Ltd. (the publisher of Endocrine Abstracts).

If your abstract is rejected or you withdraw before the withdrawal deadline, copyright will transfer back to you.

For any other queries, please contact the congress team at [email protected].
