Guidelines for Contributions
Applicable to all contributions (as outlined in the Call for Abstracts) to the 19th EAHIL Conference, this guide is designed to assist authors, especially those who are new to EAHIL. The guidelines are intentionally broad in scope to offer comprehensive support. The aim of the International Program Committee (IPC) is to facilitate the submission of high-quality abstracts through these guidelines.
Below you will find what information is required for your abstract submission and you can use these templates to prepare the text for your submission via the ExOrdo abstract submission system.
Content of abstract
The content of the abstract should contain the following information:
- a clear statement of purpose
- a brief summary of the present situation related to your subject (a short summary of the literature or current practice in order to provide the necessary background, context, or introduction of your contribution)
- a description of the methods, approaches or techniques you plan to use if your abstract is related to a workshop or continuing education session
- a concise overview of your input or key highlights
The IPC will evaluate the abstracts using the following criteria:
- relevance to conference theme
- clarity, coherence and organization of writing
- relevance to practice
- contribution of the work

Your abstract should be structured in either research presentation or practice presentation format (please see below how to structure your abstract).
