Abstract submissions open for European Congress

Abstract submissions are open for European Veterinary Congress of Behavioural Medicine and Welfare (EVCBMAW) in Helsinki, Finland, 18th -19th September 2025.

Submissions will only be accepted electronically by using the on-line submission system. The deadline for submission of abstracts is no later than 1st April 2025. Late submissions will not be accepted.

Accepted papers will be presented either as oral, poster + teaser or poster presentations according to the final decision of the Scientific Committee. Abstracts will be sent anonymously to external reviewers.
The external reviewers will assess the interest and scientific quality of the abstract topic and may ‘accept’ the abstract as is, suggest comments or reject it. The Scientific Committee will make the final decision to accept or reject the abstract.

Letters of acceptance, with any requests for comments, will be sent by 15 May (subject to change). If the abstract is accepted with comments, please send the final version by 3 June. No action is required for abstracts accepted as such. All accepted abstracts will be published at the conference, subject to the author registering as a paid delegate. The accepted abstracts will be published as typed by the author, including any errors in grammar, spelling or scientific facts.
If you have any questions about the submission process, please contact the congress secretariat directly at [email protected].
