In journalism, late-breaking refers to news that has broken after the usual deadline. In North America until the 1990s, television and radio stations interrupted regular programming only for urgent news items such as a presidential assassination or severe weather, and used cut-ins or alert crawls during regular broadcasting otherwise. In recent years, generative AI has allowed news to be delivered in this way more frequently.
The FEBS Congress offers an opportunity for abstracts of ‘late-breaking’ research to be considered after the general abstract submission deadline. The research must be new and of sufficient importance to merit special consideration beyond the standard abstract deadline. The research may be clinical or translational.
Abstracts of ‘late-breaking’ research must be submitted via the PCS Submission System. A paper is required, and an appendix is optional (maximum of 10 pages). All abstracts are subject to the same review process as all other submissions and will be published in the FEBS Proceedings.
In order to be considered for ‘late-breaking’ status, the presenting author of the work must register for the Congress by May 24, 2023 for the abstract to be assessed and included in the programme. Each presenting author can submit up to two late-breaking abstracts, however the same research cannot be presented twice. If accepted for poster presentation, one author must attend the Conference to present the results. All abstracts must be original and must report significant scientific results that have not been published prior to the Congress. Please ensure that your abstracts contain the following sections: Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results and Conclusions.
